Rugby-Argentina coach rings the changes for France test


(Reuters) - Argentina have made big changes to the line-up for the first test against France in Mendoza on Saturday, keeping only six players from their last game in October.

New coach Felipe Contepomi named his side on Thursday and retained captain Julian Montoya, prop Thomas Gallo and flanker Marcos Kremer from the side who lost 26-23 to England in the bronze medal match in Paris at last year’s World Cup.
