Western Force quartet Jeremy Williams, Ben Donaldson, Hamish Stewart and Carlo Tizzano have all been named in the Wallabies’ starting XV for Sunday’s Test against Argentina in Sante Fe.
Force skipper Williams earns a start in the second row alongside Nick Frost, with an unchanged back row of Tizzano, Rob Valetini and Harry Wilson named for the Rugby Championship clash.
Last weekend’s match winner Donaldson will start at fly-half for the second time this year, after Noah Lolesio was ruled out with tightness across the upper back.
Stewart earns a second successive start against Argentina, having made his international debut last weekend at inside-centre.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said: “Last weekend was very tough and very tight. We have a few changes after the bruising encounter and know that it will be physical again this weekend.”
“It’s a tremendous achievement for James to equal the record of the most capped Wallaby. He’s the ultimate team man and I know the whole group will do everything they can to make it a memorable milestone.”
