				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonga will be coming out &#8220;howling&#8221; in their World Cup clash with Argentina&#8217;s Pumas on Sunday, according to centre Siale Piutau.<br />
With a quarter-final place from Pool C still at stake, another full-blooded match is to be expected.<br />
&#8220;We have got this wolf-pack mentality that is going to take on the Pumas and that is how we are going into this game, said Piutau who plays for Yamaha Jubilo in Japan.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be an all-out battle, all-out war. We are just dying to get out on the field and get our howling on,&#8221; he added.<br />
Tonga coach Mana Otai and his Argentine counterpart Daniel Hourcade have made radically different team choices for the game however.</p>
<p>Argentina (15-1)<br />
Joaquin Tuculet; Santiago Cordero, Matias Moroni, Jeronimo De La Fuente, Juan Imhoff; Nicolas Sanchez, Martin Landajo; Leonardo Senatore, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, Pablo Matera; Tomas Lavanini, Guido Petti; Ramiro Herrera, Agustin Creevy (c), Marcos Ayerza<br />
Tonga (15-1)<br />
Vungakoto Lilo; Telusa Veainu, Siale Piutau, Sione Piukala, Fetu&#8217;u Vainikolo; Kurt Morath, Sonatane Takulua; Viliami Ma&#8217;afu, Nili Latu (capt), Sione Kalamafoni; Joseph Tuineau, Tukulua Lokotui; Halani &#8216;Aulika, Elvis Taione, Soane Tonga&#8217;uiha</p>
<p>Tonga will send out their oldest World Cup team ever, with an average age of 31 years and 38 days.<br />
In six changes from the team that beat Nambia 35-21,Tonga captain and most-capped player, Nili Latu, returns in place of Jack Ram who scored two tries in the match. Tonga&#8217;s leading points scorer Kurt Morath and top try scorer Fetu&#8217;u Vainikoloalso also come back.<br />
Argentina make seven changes from the XV that beat Georgia 54-9. Hourcade will field the youngest Puma side since they lost to France in the 1999 quarter-final, at 26 years and 236 days.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s just numbers,&#8221; said Latu, shrugging off the age gap.</p>
<p>With defending champions New Zealand virtually certain to top the group, Tonga are holding out hopes of beating the Pumas in a bid to sneak into second place and reach the quarter-finals for the first time.<br />
Tonga are currently second behind the All Blacks with six points. But their most difficult matches are still to come as they face Argentina and then New Zealand.<br />
&#8220;If we win, with a bonus point, it could take us somewhere we have never been before. We could make history here. This is going to be our &#8216;final&#8217; for this World Cup,&#8221; said Latu.<br />
Argentina may be favourites to go through to the last eight with the All Blacks but they are taking nothing for granted.<br />
Hourcade has brought back his favourite front row of Marcos Ayerza, Agustin Creevy and Ramiro Herrera.<br />
The trio have started eight of Argentina&#8217;s recent matches and lost each one &#8212; but all eight were against the likes of Australia, New Zealand or South Africa. The last was the 34-9 defeat by Australia in this year&#8217;s southern hemisphere Rugby Championship.<br />
&#8220;Tonga will be similar to Georgia,&#8221; warned Argentina&#8217;s fly-half Martin Landajo.<br />
&#8220;They have a physical game which could surprise us in the first half as Georgia did.<br />
&#8220;We must not wait 40 minutes to get going as we did in the last meeting. We must impose our game from the first minute and get the ball.&#8221;<br />
Argentina wing Juan Imhoff needs one try to break the Puma World Cup record of four which he shares with four other players.</p>
