From the Tonga RU Facebook page:

Toutai Kefu has finished piecing together a competitive 'Ikale Tahi squad for the Spring Tour. Featuring players from 10 countries, a mix of young and experienced with 10 new caps, this squad will face Scotland, England, French Barbarians and Romania. Missing many new caps from July because of the MIQ rules in NZ, this gives these players a chance to put their best foot forward for 2023

Argentina roster named for November with Changes - Americas Rugby News

Los Pumas will conclude their 2021 international duties with a three match tour of Europe next month. Head Coach Mario Ledesma has named a 32-man roster for the tour. It comes with changes from the 2021 Rugby Championship with players dropped, some returnees and opportunities for uncapped players....

However, since that squad was named, the Pumas have had to replace 4 players due to injury.

Argentina has been hit with the loss of four players for the November Internationals. Second-rower Matías Alemanno, No8 Rodrigo Bruni, loose head prop Facundo Gigena, and fullback Juan Cruz Mallía have all been ruled out of the tour due to injury.

Changes have seen Lucas Paulos, Joaquín Oviedo, Rodrigo Martínez, and Santiago Cordero replacing the four injured Pumas. They will join the roster ahead of the opening match of the tour. Argentina face France in Paris, Italy in Treviso, and Ireland in Dublin in November.
