The Wallabies will be hoping to make it a clean sweep of Argentina when the two sides meet in San Juan. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 5:10am AEST.
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has opted James O’Connor to start at No.10 over Noah Lolesio for the second Test against Argentina on Sunday.
Reece Hodge, who took over the reins from Quade Cooper after 48 minutes of Australia’s 41-26 win in Mendoza, is on the bench as Rennie changes tack from a 6-2 split to a 5-3 combination.
With Allan Alaalatoa having left Argentina due to a family bereavement, Pone Fa’amausili takes a place on the bench and is the only potential debutant in the 23.
It will be nervous times for the Wallabies who can’t afford any more injuries and James O’Connor is a risky move for that very reason after a recent knee injury.
The No.10 is clearly a problematic role for Rennie and there have been reports that Japan-based veteran Bernard Foley will be joining the camp when the Wallabies return home.
Despite all the doom and gloom about injuries, the Wallabies did manage to get a win last week and they’ve shown they have the strength of character to get it done away from home. How will this one play out?
