Buoyant Wallabies look for revenge over Pumas
Argentina claimed their only Rugby Championship scalp so far when they beat Australia in Mendoza one year ago
Australia hope to build on the momentum created by a dramatic triumph over South Africa when they meet Argentina in Mendoza on Saturday in the second round of The Rugby Championship.
A try by centre Tevita Kundrani after the siren had sounded earned the Wallabies a 24-20 win against the Springboks in Brisbane last Saturday.
Victory for an Australian side who trailed by 13 points in the second half came a day after title-holders New Zealand overcame Argentina 39-18 in Christchurch in the other first-round game.
All those promoted to the starting line-up against the Pumas are there on merit and have opportunities to build on what we achieved last weekend
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has made seven changes - three forced by injuries - for the match at the 40,000-seat Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in the western city.
Injured centre Matt Giteau, winger Rob Horne and scrum-half Will Genia are replaced by Matt Toomua, Joe Tomane and Nick Phipps respectively.
An additional backline change sees Bernard Foley recalled to the starting line-up at fly-half in place of Quade Cooper.
In the pack, a good showing by tighthead prop Greg Holmes when he came on as a replacement against South Africa earns him a start with Sekope Kepu dropping to the bench.
