LONDON (Reuters) -Argentina have made seven changes to their team for their final Rugby Championship outing of the campaign against defending champions South Africa, hoping to bounce back at Twickenham on Saturday after last weekend’s 67-30 defeat in Durban.

Coach Felipe Contepomi has made three changes to his pack and four among the backs, including handing only a second cap to 26-year-old Geronimo Prisciantelli, for a match in which South Africa will retain the title with a bonus-point victory.
