Australia have been forced into a late change on the eve of their Rugby Championship clash with Argentina after hooker Folau Fainga'a was ruled out of the contest in San Juan and replaced by Lachlan Lonergan, who will make his first test start.
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.
:Australia coach Dave Rennie has recalled flyhalf Quade Cooper and handed a first cap to flanker Jed Holloway after naming his team to face Argentina in their Rugby Championship opener in Mendoza on Saturday.
Australia coach Dave Rennie has named the following team to play Argentina in their Rugby Championship opener in Mendoza on Saturday:
A few days after naming themselves the “Wallabies” and a few weeks before playing England in the first official Test between the nations in 1908, the Australian national team lost a beloved member of the squad: Bertie the carpet snake, who had spent six weeks at sea and been smuggled into England down the strides of backrower Tom Richards, died an hour before kick off. Bad mouse, apparently.
A golden oldie debutante, a front row firebrand, the return of the Rising Sun triangle, a dirty dozen Brumbies but no Tongan Thor and just one Red. Dave Rennie’s 23-man Wallabies squad for the first Test against England on Saturday is a tough, fast, freewheeling outfit designed to run England ragged, snap Eddie Jones’s eight-game winning streak and reverse England’s 3-0 whitewash of 2016.
Veteran lock Cadeyrn Neville and hooker David Porecki were handed Australia debuts on Thursday in a powerful pack to face England in the first Test, while playmaker Quade Cooper got the nod over James O'Connor.
Quade Cooper will form an experienced half-back combination with Nic White for Australia's series opener against England in Perth on Saturday.
