Dropped Wallabies Irae Simone and Fraser McReight are also in the side.

Simone and McReight aren’t the only two that will want to show what they’re made of, with fellow Test players Harry Johnson-Holmes, Valetini, Naisarani and Joe Powell also trying to impress Dave Rennie for a spot in the Wallabies team.

Argentinian coach Mario Ledesma has yet to announce his side.

The warm-up fixture, which follows their 19-15 victory over another Rugby AU side last week is Argentina’s last match ahead of their Tri-Nations opener against the All Blacks next Saturday in Sydney.
