Argentina head coach Michael Cheika has made 11 changes to his starting line-up for their historic Rugby World Cup meeting with Chile on Saturday.

Marcos Kremer, Guido Petti, Eduardo Bello and Juan Martin Gonzalez are the only four players to retain their places from the 19-10 win over Samoa.

Argentina are fourth in Pool D, competing with Japan and Samoa to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Debutants Chile have already been eliminated, while England are top of the pool and will seal first place by avoiding defeat by Samoa in their final group game.

After facing Chile, two-time World Cup semi-finalists Argentina face Japan in their final pool game on 8 October.

Argentina have four points from two games, one fewer than Japan or Samoa but without having played Chile, who are going into their final pool game having lost the previous three.

If either Japan or Samoa win both of their remaining matches with bonus points, they will go through to the last eight. Anything less opens the door for Argentina, who will eye a bonus-point win against their South American rivals.

Six players in Argentina's starting XV are aged 30 and older, including Agustin Creevy and Nicolas Sanchez.

Creevy will equal Mario Ledesma as Argentina's most capped Rugby World Cup player in his 18th match, and will become the fourth oldest player to feature at the tournament at 38 years and 199 days.

Sanchez, meanwhile, will earn his 100th Argentina cap, only the second player to do so.

Chile head coach Pablo Lemoine has made eight changes to his XV. He has also named Nicolas Herreros and Augusto Sarmiento on the bench, with neither having featured at the tournament so far.
