Marika Koroibete will start on the left-wing for the Wallabies for Saturday's must-win Tri-Nations fixture against Argentina in Newcastle.

Filipo Daugunu is on the bench.

Coach, Dave Rennie has called on Taniela Tupou to tame the Pumas, with the giant tight-head prop one of three changes to the Wallabies' starting side.

Scott Sio will join Tupou in the starting side.

Rennie has kept faith with the backline that superbly bounced back against the All Blacks.

Reece Hodge gets another chance to impress selectors with Hunter Paisami and Jordan Petaia named in the centres.

The Wallabies will face Argentina at 8.45pm this Saturday.

WALLABIES (1-15): Scott Sio, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Taniela Tupou, Rob Simmons, Matt Philip, Ned Hanigan, Michael Hooper (c), Harry Wilson, Nic White, Reece Hodge, Marika Koroibete, Hunter Paisami, Jordan Petaia, Tom Wright, Tom Banks

RESERVES: Folau Fainga'a, Angus Bell, Allan Alaalatoa, Rob Valetini, Liam Wright, Jake Gordon, Noah Lolesio, Filipo Daugunu
