Loosehead prop Rodrigo Roncero has recovered from a thigh muscle strain to be recalled by Argentina amid four changes for the World Cup quarterfinal against New Zealand.

Roncero, a starter in the Pumas' first three pool matches, missed last weekend's 25-7 win over Georgia which clinched a quarterfinal berth.

Also back as expected were lock Manuel Carizza, winger Gonzalo Camacho and fullback Martin Rodriguez.

The lineup is almost identical to the one which beat Scotland 13-12 in a decisive pool match, with the exception at No. 8, where Leonardo Senatore has replaces the injured Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.

Argentina:

1. Rodrigo Roncero
2. Mario Ledesma Arocena
3. Juan Figallo
4. Manuel Carizza
5. Patricio Albacete
6. Julio Farias Cabello
7. Juan Manuel Leguizamón
8. Leonardo Senatore
9. Nicolás Vergallo
10. Santiago Fernández
11. Horacio Agulla
12. Felipe Contepomi (c)
13. Marcelo Bosch
14. Gonzalo Camacho
15. Martín Rodríguez

Replacements:

16. Agustín Creevy
17. Martín Scelzo
18. Marcos Ayerza
19. Alejandro Campos
20. Alfredo Lalanne
21. Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino
22. Juan Jose Imhoff
