The return of Will Genia to the starting XV headlines the Wallabies team to play Argentina in Rosario on Sunday morning (AEDT).
The naming of Genia signals an intent from coach Ewen McKenzie to return to a running game style in a bid to avoid claiming the wooden spoon of The Rugby Championship in 2013.
In the only other change, Waratahs flyhalf Bernard Foley comes on to the bench in place of Chris Feauai-Sautia. Matt Toomua is battling an ankle complaint but with Foley able to cover both flyhalf and fullback his versatility could prove vital in the back end of the match.
The team named for this match bares little resemblance from the last match against the Pumas in Argentina with only three members of this squad part of the starting team last year in Ben Alexander, Michael Hooper and Sitaleki Timani.
