The Wallabies are wary of a Pumas backlash following the suspension of three Argentina players, including disgraced captain Pablo Matera, for posting racist remarks on social media.

Matera, Guido Petti and Santiago Socino have been banned for racist comments made between 2011 and 2013.

Wallabies prop Allan Alaalatoa tipped the Pumas to react strongly under the adversity.

Alaalatoa says this is the first time they have heard about this and he is sure Argentine players will be using it as a motivation.

The Wallabies have to beat Argentina by 101 points to win the Tri-Nations.

Argentina on the other hand has to win by a 93-point margin.

The Wallabies will meet Argentina at 8.45pm Saturday.
