Rennie's new respect for Pumas

Rennie's new respect for Pumas

20/11/2020

When Dave Rennie sat down in the Wallabies' team room to watch the All Blacks face Argentina with his staff last Saturday, he expected the same result as the rest of the world – a comfortable All Blacks win.

Two hours later, the Wallabies coach had a new level of respect for the team Australia have to beat tomorrow to keep their Tri-Nations hopes alive.

Rennie says they have an idea about what type of game Argentina will bring tomorrow.

Marika Koroibete will start on the left-wing for the Wallabies.

Filipo Daugunu is on the bench.

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

Scott Sio will join Tupou in the starting side.

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 tomorrow.

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
