Australia head coach Joe Schmidt is unable to stick to a winning formula for their rematch against Argentina in the Rugby Championship, as three injuries have forced him into changes for the clash in Santa Fe.

Lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto (shoulder), flyhalf Noah Lolesio (back) and fullback Tom Wright (ankle) are all casualties from the 19-20 win in La Plata last week- the Wallabies’ first win of this year’s Championship.

Jeremy Williams has come in to replace Salakaia-Loto in the pack, while Ben Donaldson and Max Jorgensen will step in in the back line, all of whom featured from the bench last week. There will be a reshuffle in the back three, with Andrew Kellaway shifting to fullback having started on the wing last week.

The match will be 20-year-old Jorgensen’s first start for the Wallabies, while 23-year-old lock Josh Canham could make his debut from the bench.

Joining Canham among the substitutes is James Slipper, who could draw level with George Gregan as Australia’s most-capped player at the Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López.

Looking ahead to Canham’s potential debut, Schmidt said: “Josh is a good athlete and I think he’s a really promising young player.

“He’s gone away and put some work in and some of that is just the physical grind of making sure he’s prepared for Test match Rugby…he’s built a bit of confidence through the work he’s done and we’ve built in what Josh can deliver.”

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

I can rewire a human brain, course through the most sensitive neural pathways, and restore life with steady hands and a sharp scalpel. But it would appear none of those prepared me for the horror of a hardware wallet that had decided it wanted to self-destruct. It had been years since my Ledger device had sat comfortably in my drawer, unvexed and pristine, like a relic from my earlier Bitcoin investment days. Then came the fateful evening when I decided to switch it on just to check on my stash. That is when I was greeted by an error message so incomprehensible that it could as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics. At first, I kept calm. I had been in life-and-death situations before, so surely, I could troubleshoot a problem with my wallet. Rebooting? Nothing. Firmware reset? Even worse. With every attempt, my precious $680,000 worth of Bitcoin seemed to slip further from my grasp. The real panic set in when I realized that I had stored my recovery phrase somewhere "safe"-so safe that even I couldn't remember where it was. Hours of frantic searching, multiple YouTube tutorials, and a last-ditch effort to reach out to Ledger support resulted in one grim conclusion: "Your funds may be irretrievable." As a neurosurgeon, I’m used to bad news—but this? Unacceptable. That is when I discovered TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. A little skeptical I was- if they couldn't help me, a manufacturer of the device, then how would anyone else? I had nothing to lose. The moment I reached out to them, I knew I had done the right thing: I was professional, transparent, and confident that they could recover my lost Bitcoin. They performed some kind of digital wallet emergency surgery, getting everything back in six days. Through what can only be described as magic, by way of forensic techniques, they bypassed corruption and extracted my private keys and every Satoshi, to boot. If it stopped there, that would've been great; then they walked me through how to properly secure my assets going forward more "too safe to find" backups. I may be the expert in the operating room, but when it comes to resuscitating a dead crypto wallet, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY is your team on call. Cold storage has failed; don't try to self-operate, just get the pros in before your Bitcoin flatlines.
