Bosch who committed the offence minutes after coming on as a
replacement in the final pool game against Namibia is the only change in
Daniel Hourcade's starting XV from the team which dismantled Ireland in
the quarterfinal.
Bosch takes the place of Matias Moroni, a try-scorer in the 43-20 win
over Ireland.
Inspirational captain Agustin Creevy, though, will start after there
were doubts about his fitness earlier.
The Pumas will be in their first World Cup semi-final since 2007,
when they lost to South Africa but went on to beat hosts France in the
third-place play-off.
At this World Cup they have been showing off a new attacking style
that has yielded 26 tries in five matches.
Australia have won 18 of the 24 games between the two nations, with
the Pumas taking five and one match drawn.
Argentina last beat the Wallabies in October last year. |
