Itā€™s a really strong Wallabies fron row, with a fit and firing Taniela Tupou back after a rest in Jujuy. Coach Les Kiss said that Carter Gordon wasnā€™t carrying any injury at five-eighth, instead wanting to give Ben Donaldson some time in the saddle as a starter.
The major return is in the centres, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is back from his stint on the pine in Jujuy to partner with the brilliant Len Ikitau.
Filipo Daugunu gets a. rare start on the wing and breaks a threat at the breakdown which could cause the Pumas problems.
Ryan Lonergan at half back has gone from a late Test debut, to one of the most important Wallabies. When the Brumbies player leaves the field often the Wallabies attacking shape goes with him. Given thereā€™s no Tate McDermott on the bench, Kiss will hope he can go deep in Mendoza.
Wallabies: Tom Wright; Max Jorgensen, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Len Ikitau and Filipo Daugunu; Ben Donaldson and Ryan Lonergan; Fraser McReight, Harry Wilson (captain) and Rob Valetini; Jeremy Williams and Josh Canham; Taniela Tupou, Billy Pollard and Angus Bell.
Isaac Henry, Carter Gordon, Kalani Thomas, Charlie Cale, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Massimo De Lutiis, Aidan Ross and Josh Nasser.
