SYDNEY (Reuters) - Santiago Carreras will play his first test at flyhalf against the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship on Saturday as Argentina coach Mario Ledesma wrestles with a lengthy injury list.

Nicolas Sanchez started at flyhalf in the 39-0 loss to New Zealand on the Gold Coast last week but limped off with an ankle injury with winger Emiliano Boffelli taking over as makeshift playmaker.
