Wales announce seven changes to the team that lost 3-0 to Australia in the summer.

Wales have made a number of changes to their squad ahead of Saturday's Test against Argentina.

Mike Phillips has been dropped in favour of Tavis Knoyle of Llanelli Scarlets and Ospreys Aaron Jarvis has been brought in to replace the injured Adam Jones.

Josh Turnbull comes into the back row following injuries to Ryan Jones and Dan Lydiate, while Scott Williams will replace Jonathan Davies at outside centre.

Interim coach Robert Howley said: "One or two injuries have forced our hands in certain areas in terms of selection, but the fact that we are still able to field a side packed with Grand Slam experience shows that we have been able to develop some depth in recent years.

"There are obvious opportunities for the likes of Aaron, Tavis at scrum-half and Josh in the back row, to pull on the jersey against Argentina and try to make it their own."

In total, Wales have made seven changes to the side that lost 3-0 to Australia in the summer.
