NANTES, France — Fullback Martin Bogado and right winger Rodrigo Isgro will make their Rugby World Cup debuts in Argentina's reshuffled side for its all-South American contest against Chile on Saturday in Nantes. Coach Michael Cheika made 11 changes to his starting XV from the 19-10 win against Samoa last Friday. Hooker Agustin Creevy, flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez and scrumhalf Tomas Cubelli are also selected in a team loaded with veterans. The 38-year-old Creevy will equal Mario Ledesma with his 18th World Cup appearance for Argentina. Chile is looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat in its debut World Cup campaign. Coach Pablo Lemoine made eight changes from the England loss. Javier Carrasco returns at loosehead prop while No. 8 Raimundo Martinez and flanker Clemente Saavedra are in the back row.
