Argentina host the Wallabies in Round 1 of The Rugby Championship from Mendoza. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 5:10am AEST.
The big news over the last 24 hours was captain Michael Hooper being a last-minute omission due to personal reasons.
Thankfully, the Wallabies have James Slipper to cover from a leadership point of view.
Fraser McReight has the job of replacing Hooper at no.7.
It’s always an intimidating atmosphere in Argentina and expect no different from the 42,000-seated Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.
Los Pumas know this is their best chance to make a statement in the Rugby Championship with the opening two games on their home turf. Expect the Cheika-coached team to come out all guns blazing.
Venue: Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, Mendoza
