Pumas boss Michael Cheika insists no-one comes to Cardiff as favourites after Jiffy and Shane dismiss Wales as underdogs

Michael Cheika has been in charge of Lebanon and Argentina in the last few months. He speaks French, Italian, Arabic and Spanish. Cheikas team to take on Wales in Cardiff this Saturday is unchanged. Shane Williams and Jonathan Davies have called the Pumas favourites. But Chekas insists that the team is not reading too much into that. Wales conceded eight tries in their last game against New Zealand. Argentina lost to the All Blacks. They also take in a game with Scotland next week. The tour of the UK has not been easy for Cheakas. It's been a different experience for him.

Cheika has been to Wales many times during his coaching career. He has not picked up Welsh. Cheika will stick to the ones he has. The unchanged Pumas team features a number of players from clubs in the UK.
