Saturday, kick-off 170 (GMT)Principality StadiumRob Howleys second stint as interim Wales head coach could not have got off to a worse start. Saturdays limp defeat to Australia has been compounded by injuries to key players, including Rhys Webb, Hallam Amos and Bradley Davies. The gd news for Howley is that he can recall Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones and Liam Williams for this weekends encounter. The bad news is that Argentina are the opposition on Saturday.Wales may have a winning record against the South Americans but the Pumas have improved markedly in the three years since they were last in Cardiff, for a 40-6 defeat. Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade has only included five survivors from the last Pumas win -- in 2012 -- but he has a squad that is battle-hardened from the Rugby Championship, and know each others games inside out. If Howley was hoping for a bit of respite, he may well be disappointed. Team newsHowley has been fairly ruthless in his team selection, ditching defensive lynchpin Jamie Roberts following a pr performance, as one of six changes. Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones, Jonathan Davies and Liam Williams have all been passed fit to return, while Gethin Jenkins retains the captaincy as he becomes the worlds most-capped front-row forward.Argentina have made three changes to the side that warmed up for this clash with a 54-20 win against Japan last weekend. In come Juan Martin Hernandez, Ramiro Moyano and Pablo Matera, but there is no rm in the starting XV for Santiago Cordero. The wing, who scored a brace against Japan, is on the bench.Wales: Halfpenny, North, J. Davies, S. Williams, L. Williams; Biggar, G. Davies; Jenkins (captain), Owens, Francis, Charteris, Jones, Warburton, Tipuric, MoriartyReplacements: Baldwin, Smith, Lee, Hill, King, Ll. Williams, Anscombe, RobertsArgentina: Tuculet, Moroni, Orlando, Hernández, Moyano, Sánchez, Landajo; Noguera, Creevy (captain), Herrera, Petti, Alemanno, Matera, Desio, IsaReplacements: Montoya, Botta, Pieretto, Senatore, Lezana, Cubelli, Iglesias, CorderoKey head-to-headHowley has been bold in his selection, particularly in dropping Roberts. The centre channel was a concern against Australia and the hope will be that Scott Williams and Jonathan Davies -- teammates at the Scarlets -- can help plug the gap. In their way will be the evergreen and wily Juan Martin Hernandez. Into his 35th year, the playmaker still has the ability to light up these cold winter evenings and he is effectively a second fly-half for Argentina. Not that they need one, with Nicolas Sanchez inside him.Wales will hope their own No. 10, Dan Biggar, can rediscover his best form on Saturday. But outside of him Williams will have the responsibility of ensuring Hernandez stays quiet, while imposing himself on the game as well. The Williams-Davies axis should offer the hosts a more expansive approach in midfield, and Howley will hope that keeps the Pumas on the back ft.Key stats*Argentina have scored two tries in each of their Test wins in Cardiff (2001 and 2012)*Wales victory over Argentina in 2013 was their first in an autumn international for four years.*The highest scoring game between the two sides came in 2004 when Argentina won 50-44 in Tucuman.PredictionThe Principality Stadium is expected to be far from full for Argentinas visit, and those making the trip will do so with some caution. Last weeks defeat to Australia has taken the wind out of Wales sails but you do not become a bad side overnight. Despite a growing injury list, the hosts still possess the players to win Test matches and will hope to prove that against the Pumas. Argentina are more street-wise these days and are capable of stunning rugby, but Wales are wounded. Were tipping Howleys men to edge it, but there will only be a point or two in it.

General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the sn-to-be unrestricted free agent. SAO PAULO -- Matildas coach Alen Stajcic doesnt believe in omens.And he hopes the rest of the Australian Olympic team dont either after his womens ftballers opened the nations Rio campaign with a horror show.Not only did the first Australians in action at the Rio Games lose 2-0 to Canada.They also copped the fastest goal in Olympic womens ftball - 20 seconds.And conceded another when their goalkeeper was sprawled near the halfway line.All against a Canadian outfit who played 75 minutes with 10 players after a send off.Oh, and the result also means their next match against superpowers Germany becomes that much more important.Its not the start you want, is it, to an Olympic campaign, a grim-faced Stajcic said after Wednesdays demoralising defeat at Sao Paulos Arena Corinthians.The Matildas are removed from the rest of the Australian Olympic teams troubled preparation in Rio which has included a burning building. But they just may have burnt their Olympic bridge - in record time.In just 20 seconds, the Australians were a goal down.Laura Alleway sent a sluggish sideways pass towards her defensive counterpart Alanna Kennedy, who didnt sense snping Canadian captain Christine Sinclair until t late.Sinclair intercepted, charged at goal, and arrowed a poised pass tto teammate Janine Beckie who tapped in the gift from barely one metre out.ddddddddddddThe Australians then dominated - 11 shots to two by halftime - but couldnt score.Stajcic was more perplexed at Australias lacklustre second half when they failed to press their numerical advantage.I dont think the goal in the first minute was the decisive factor, Stajcic said.I think our second half performance for 45 minutes was the decisive factor in the result.We just lacked the creativity to be able to get in behind them ... we just werent gd enough.We werent clever enough on the ball and lacked the creativity needed to break a defence like that down. I cant remember one chance in the second half, to be honest.Next up, an encounter against the dual World Cup-winning Germans in Sao Paulo on Saturday from 1800 (0700 AEST Sunday), before a last group game against Zimbabwe three days later.You have got to pick yourself up ... we havent spent one month (training) in Brazil to have a sulk now, Stajcic said.The top two teams from each of the three, four-team groups qualify for the knockout stages along with the two best-placed sides that finish third.
