Itโs 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 wasnโt 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 thereโs 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.
