Cardiff Blues centre Cory Allen is in line to make his Test debut this weekend after being named on Thursday in the starting side to play Argentina.

At the other end of the spectrum, prop Gethin Jenkins will become only the fourth player to win 100 Wales caps after Stephen Jones, Gareth Thomas and Martyn Williams when he takes the field at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on Saturday.

Wales coach Warren Gatland made four changes to the side beaten 24-15 by South Africa in Cardiff last weekend.

Allen replaced the injured Jonathan Davies in midfield while fly-half Dan Biggar was selected to start in place of Rhys Priestland.

Up front, Rhodri Jones took over from injured veteran prop Adam Jones (calf) while Dan Lydiate was ruled out with an ankle problem.

Lydiate’s injury led to a back-row reshuffle with Justin Tipuric starting at openside flanker and captain Sam Warburton moving to the blindside.

Six Nations champions Wales will be out for revenge following last year’s 26-12 defeat by the Pumas in Cardiff.

Argentina will face Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday (16:30 SATime, 14:30 GMT) with four changes from the team beaten by England in their opening tour match.

Wales: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 George North, 13 Cory Allen, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Liam Williams, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Mike Phillips, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Sam Warburton (Captain), 5 Alun Wyn Jones, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Rhodri Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Gethin Jenkins

Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Paul James, 18 Samson Lee, 19 Luke Charteris, 20 Ryan Jones, 21 Lloyd Williams, 22 James Hook, 23 Ashley Beck.
