    Argentina's rugby side plans to pay tribute to their country's greatest sporting star in the Tri-Nations test against the All Blacks on Saturday


    Football icon Diego Maradona died overnight aged 60.

    Maradona was held in god-like reverence in Argentina.

    Argentina rugby coach Mario Ledesma says he woke up to a hundred messages this morning in Sydney and they want to pay their tribute to him.



    Argentina's made 10 changes for Saturday's match with Nicolas Sanchez the only surviving back from the last two weeks.
