Argentina move Moroni to centre

Cardiff - Argentina switched winger Matias Moroni to outside centre in place of the suspended Marcelo Bosch for their Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Ireland on Sunday.

Juan Martin Hernandez moves back to inside centre to make way for the return of flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez, while Martin Landajo is preferred to Tomas Cubelli at scrumhalf.

Veteran back-row forward Juan Manuel Leguizamon has not recovered from injury and was left out of the squad for the match at the Millennium Stadium.
