Australia head coach Les Kiss made a change at flyhalf on Friday and restored Harry Wilson to the captaincy for Saturday's second rugby test against Argentina in Mendoza.
Ben Donaldson will start a test in the No. 10 jersey for the first time in 2026, replacing Carter Gordon, who has overcome an injury but moves to the bench.
Len Ikitau and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii will combine at center for the 17th time in 26 tests but the first time under Kiss. Ikitau missed the first test due to injury and Suaalii started that match on the bench.
Australia won the first test 27-21 and will be looking for a fifth straight win and its first series sweep in Argentina.
In other backline changes, Filipo Daugunu returns on the left wing in place of Harry Potter, combining with winger Max Jorgensen and fullback Tom Wright, who will play his 50th test.
