Australia have been forced into a late change on the eve of their Rugby Championship clash with Argentina after hooker Folau Fainga'a was ruled out of the contest in San Juan and replaced by Lachlan Lonergan, who will make his first test start.

Uncapped Billy Pollard, 20, will take Lonergan’s place on the bench and could make his international debut having played only eight Super Rugby games for the ACT Brumbies. Rennie is also without regular captain Michael Hooper, flyhalf Quade Cooper, centre Hunter Paisami and prop Allan Ala’alatoa due to a mixture of injury and personal reasons.

"It’s his first start for the Wallabies, and one thing you know about 'Noss' is that he looks very calm, but when he’s out there he goes full throttle. I am really excited to see how he goes.
