Julián Montoya has been named in the starting side and captains Argentina in their Rugby Championship second round match against Australia on Saturday 10.45AM (UK time) in Sydney.

In Saturday's earlier Rugby Championship fixture, with kick-off scheduled for 8.05AM (UK time), South Africa take on the All Blacks, with the Springboks starting Tigers' own Jasper Wiese at number 8. The two sides won their opening matches in the series, against the Wallabies and Los Pumas respectively, and will be looking for a statement win in Auckland ahead of September's World Cup. 

Finally, Lewis Chessum captains England Under-20's in their third-place play-off match against South Africa Under-20's in their final match of the World Rugby Under 20 Championship. Fellow Tigers Finn Carnduff and Joe Woodward are named on the bench for Friday's game at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, with kick-off scheduled for 3.30 (UK time).
