Leicester Tigers hooker Julian Montoya will lead side that contains five players who started in last year’s 33-11 triumph over Wales at Principality Stadium. Having already beaten Scotland twice, Australia, New Zealand and England this year, Cheika will be hoping to continue the winning run in the Welsh capital.
“I want the attitude of always looking forward and wanting to improve. I can’t look back, I’d rather keep looking forward to next week,” said Cheika.
“We just need to keep working on the principles of our game and our mentality. We’ve been working on self-belief, understanding what we can do and what we are capable of, and making ourselves capable to go to the new standard.
“We’ve put together one or two results on the road this year but with time off in between. Now we can try and win away for a second successive weekend.”
Argentina had gone into the test against England with three changes after their last match in the Rugby Championship in September.
Uncapped scrumhalf Eliseo Morales was named among the replacements last week as back up to Dragons No 9 Gonzalo Bertranou, but didn’t get a chance to come off the bench. He gets another opportunity in Cardiff.
Argentina end their three match Autumn tour with a game against Scotland in Edinburgh on 19 November.
