Alright, let's talk about the Wallabies. They're heading to Mendoza to face Argentina this Sunday, kicking off at 7am A.E.S.T. The big news is, Ben Donaldson stepping into the fly half-roll for his first start there in two years. He's taking over from Carter Gordon, whose move to the bench. Joseph Alcuso-Swale is also back in the starting lineup, pairing up with Land Ikitao in the centers. This is the first time this duel has started together under Coach Les Kies, who's been doing pretty well so far, undefeated in his three games. The team is looking to build on their recent wins. They've had a bit of a rough patch, but they're aiming for five straight victories, something they haven't achieved since 2021. Tom Wright is also set to play his 50th test match, starting at fullback. On the forward side, it's mostly a full-strength pack. Angus Bell, Tanyela Tupu, Josh Canem, and Jeremy Williams are all in, with Harry Wilson returning at number eight. Billy Pollard and Josh Nasser will be sharing the hooker duties.

So it's a bit of a reshuffle, but the team is aiming to keep that winning momentum going against Argentina. They've got a solid lineup ready to go. Stay informed with Adelaide News today, AI-powered updates.
