The early team news is in and it's a major reshuffle for the Wallabies. No.10 Quade Cooper, who sustained a season-ending injury in last week's opener, will be replaced by the experienced James O’Connor. It's bad news for Hunter Paisami, too. He picked up a knock and is expected to be ruled out of the second Rugby Championship Test against Los Pumas. Lalakai Foketi is tipped to fill the No.12 jersey.
Argentina might have lost the series opener but they dominated large swathes of the game, so they'll no doubt feel confident that a historic Rugby Championship win is just around the corner. And with Dragons scrum-half Gonzalo Bertranou returning to the 23 as a starter for Saturday's 2nd Test, it's clear Los Pumas are out for revenge in San Juan.

Watch an Argentina vs Australia live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant 2022 Rugby Championship rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
