LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - Argentina are expected to beat Namibia comfortably in their final Pool C match at the Rugby World Cup on Sunday, but there is much to be gained for a side that has performed in fits and starts at the tournament.

Coach Daniel Hourcade has made 11 changes for the match, not just a sign that he feels comfortable using fringe players but also an opportunity to give game-time to those who have seen little or no action yet to keep them match ready for the quarter-finals. One of those is centre Juan Pablo Socino, who gets a first game and an opportunity to push for a place in the starting line-up for the knockout stages.
