Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has confirmed that winger Marika Koroibete will miss this week's re-match with Argentina in the Rugby Championship.

Koroibete will return to Melbourne after several months on the road to be with his newborn child after playing an impactful role in their 27-8 victory in Townsville.

Rennie says there will be one or two changes in Saturday's line-up and they want to make sure they are picking players who have earned the right to play.

The likely person who can replace Koroibete is back-rower Sean McMahon.

The Wallabies will face Argentina at 7.05pm Saturday and the All Blacks meet the Springboks at 10.05pm Saturday.
