A relatively inexperienced Australia side will aim to open the Rugby Championship with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2015 when they face Argentina in San Juan on Saturday, with much of the focus on returning flyhalf James O’Connor.
Veteran James O’Connor will start at five-eighth among a raft of changes to the Wallabies following another disrupted build-up ahead of their second Rugby Championship Test against Argentina. The Australians will take on the wounded Pumas in San Juan on Sunday morning (AEST) looking to back up last week’s 41-26 victory.
Injuries and suspension have resulted in the Wallabies making seven changes to their matchday 23 for Saturday’s pivotal second Test against England. Into the starting line-up come the fit-again Taniela Tupou and backs Tom Wright and Hunter Paisami, with Jordan Petaia and Matt Philip both promoted from the replacements’ bench.
SYDNEY : Taniela "Tongan Thor" Tupou returns to the front row and Jordan Petaia makes his first start at fullback in two of seven changes to Australia's matchday squad for Saturday's second test against England.
England have been warned they will step into Australia’s “cauldron” for Saturday’s do-or-tie second Test with the Wallabies vowing to dominate them up front. Australia have won their last 10 matches in Brisbane – a record dating back to the 2016 defeat by England – and after taking a 1-0 lead in the series, despite losing the lock Darcy Swain to a red cardfor the series, the Wallabies are confident of gaining the upper hand in the crucial forwards battle.
Maro Itoje has warned his England team-mates they must crank up the intensity for their second Test against Australia if they are to rescue the series.

You have to wonder what might happen to England the next time their opponents keep 15 men on the field. For the second match running they were outclassed, outfought and out-thought by opposition who had a player sent off. If there was a degree of mitigation against the Barbarians, this was a troubling first defeat by Australia in nine matches and the first under Eddie Jones, who now comes under intense scrutiny. Positives for England are limited to Henry Arundell’s mesmeric late cameo on his debut and the fact that Australia did not backheel any conversions.
