Exeter Chiefs prop Tomas Francis is one of six changes Wales have made to their starting line-up for Saturday's Test match against Argentina at the Principality Stadium (5:30pm).

Francis, who will win his 16th international cap, comes in at tight-head in place of Samson Lee, who drops to the bench.

Other changes to the Welsh line-up see Alun Wyn Jones and Sam Warburton return in the pack in place of Bradley Davies and Dan Lydiate, while behind Gareth Davies takes over at scrum-half from the injured Rhys Webb; Liam Williams replaces Alex Cuthbert on the wing and Scott Williams is given the nod over Jamie Roberts in the centre.

Although Warburton returns on the blindside flank, Cardiff Blues team-mate Gethin Jenkins will again captain the Welsh, who will be looking to bounce back following last weekend's heavy 32-8 defeat to Australia
