KEY POINTS:
DUBLIN - Flanker Shane Jennings and wing Rob Kearney will win their first rugby caps for Ireland against Argentina this weekend, coach Eddie O'Sullivan said as he announced 12 changes ahead of Saturday's second test.
"I think a lot of the players last week stood up and put their cases forward for World Cup selection," O'Sullivan said in a statement after his side lost 22-20 in an earlier friendly against Argentina last weekend.
"This week's team has the same opportunity to do that in another pressurised environment," he added.
Tommy Bowe, Andrew Trimble and Paddy Wallace were ruled out of Saturday's game in Buenos Aires due to injuries.
