SAINT-ETIENNE, France (Reuters) - Argentina coach Michael Cheika has made three changes to his starting team for the second World Cup Pool D match against Samoa on Friday as the Pumas look to get their campaign back on track after the opening loss to England.

The experienced Matias Moroni comes into the midfield for Lucio Cinti, Guido Petti will play in the second row instead of Tomas Lavanini and Eduardo Bello replaces Francisco Gomez Kodela at tighthead prop.
