Argentina winger Gonzalo Camacho makes his international comeback after three shoulder operations in two years when they face Australia in the Rugby Championship in Mendoza on Saturday.

Camacho, who damaged his shoulder against New Zealand in Hamilton in September 2013, is one of seven changes that coach Daniel Hourcade has made to the team that lost 39-18 to the All Blacks in Christchurch last weekend.

Five of the changes, some dictated by injury others with the World Cup in mind, are in the backs where only fly-half Nicolas Sanchez and Santiago Cordero, who has moved from the left wing to full-back to replace the injured Joaquin Tuculet, remain.

Centres Juan Pablo Socino and Matias Moroni make their championship debuts, replacing Jeronimo de la Fuente and Marcelo Bosch, with Socino also making his first Pumas appearance.

In the pack, Tomas Lavanini comes in for Guido Petti in the second row and Javier Ortega Desio replaces veteran Juan Manuel Leguizamon at blindside flanker.
