Andy Farrell has made one change to the Irish side that lost to New Zealand last Friday for tonight's clash against Argentina.
Robbie Henshaw starts at inside centre, replacing Bundee Aki. He starts alongside Leinster teammate Gary Ringrose.
Hugo Keenan, Mack Hansen, and James Lowe make up the Irish back three. Jack Crowley and Jamison Gibson-Park retain their places as scrum half and outhalf.
In the front row, Andrew Porter, Rónan Kelleher, and Finlay Bealham get the nod from Farrell. In the engine room, Joe McCarthy and James Ryan also start, while Tadhg Beirne, Josh van der Flier, and captain Caelan Doris keep their places.
Rob Herring, Cian Healy, Thomas Clarkson, Ryan Baird, Iain Henderson, Peter O'Mahony, Craig Casey, Jamie Osborne, and Sam Prendergast start on the bench.

“So, there’s a bit of that, a bit of hurt and a reaction, and that will come as well. But at the same time, we haven’t got thousands of players anyway.
“We know where our bread’s buttered, and we’ve got to act according to that and make the group stronger all the time by giving them an opportunity either to right some wrongs or take an opportunity that’s in front of them.”
The game starts at 8:10 pm. It can be seen live on Virgin Media 1 and TNT Sports 1.
