Team News: Phelan names "best" Argentinian lineup

Argentina coach Santiago Phelan has named what he believes is the "best team" possible to start their World Cup opener against England on Saturday.

Phelan has made just one change from the side that lost 28-13 to Wales in August, with outside centre Gonzalo Tiesi recalled in place of Marcelo Bosch.

"We think for this game and at this moment it is the best team we have," the coach told a press conference.

Argentina: Rodriguez, Camacho, Tiesi, Fernandez, Agulla, Contepomi, Vergallo; Roncero, Ledesma, Figallo, Carizza, Albacete, Cabello, Leguizamon, Lobbe.

England team to follow.
