Australia come into the game under serious pressure, last weekend’s 17-35 defeat away to South Africa being their 10th in their last 14 matches. 

Coach Michael Cheika has made five changes to his starting 15 and a further five to his reserves. Scott Sio is the only change to the forward pack as the 55-Test veteran returns from a hamstring injury that forced him out of last weekend’s loss in Johannesburg. 

Will Genia, Christian Leali’ifano, Marika Koroibete and Kurtley Beale will all start in a new-look backline as combinations continue to be tested before the World Cup in Japan later this year.

Saturday’s clash will be a memorable occasion for Genia, with the half-back set to play his last-ever game at Suncorp Stadium following his decision to retire from Test rugby at the end of 2019.

Suncorp Stadium has proven a happy hunting ground for the wily No9, who currently boasts 10 wins from his 12 games in the Wallaby jersey at the venue.

Meanwhile, veteran hooker Agustin Creevy has been left out due to injury as Argentina coach Mario Ledesma made five changes to his side.

The Pumas came agonisingly close last weekend to a first-ever victory over New Zealand but succumbed to a 20-16 defeat.

Creevy did not travel with the squad to Australia due to a muscle problem and is replaced in the front row by Julian Montoya.

Toulon back row Facundo Isa comes in at No8 in place of Javier Ortega Desio while Tomas Lezana plays at blindside flanker instead of Marcos Kremer.

Santiago Cordero, who moved from Exeter to Bordeaux-Begles during the off-season, comes in at right wing in place of Matias Moroni, who moves to outside centre as Matias Orlando drops to the bench. The final change sees Joaquin Tuculet picked at full-back ahead of Emiliano Boffelli.

England player ratings vs Wales | 2025 Six Nations

I’m reaching out today with a heartfelt plea, hoping my experience can serve as a warning to others. I’m one of the millions who have lost everything to the Vourteige scam, and my story is a painful reminder of how easily trust can be exploited. It all started with promises of high returns: a 5-month contract, 2% monthly withdrawals on a free margin account. Everything sounded too good to be true, but I was drawn in by their convincing tactics and the allure of financial freedom. I trusted them so much that I borrowed a significant amount of money from banks, believing in the legitimacy of this investment. Unfortunately, I failed to see the warning signs and ignored the growing doubts I had.I ended up investing a substantial sum of $450,000, fully expecting to see profits and withdrawals, as promised. But that never happened. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t access any of my funds. The platform’s responses became more vague, and the withdrawals never came through. It soon became clear that I had been scammed, and I was left in a situation that could have led to complete financial ruin.At this point, I felt utterly hopeless. I was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the thought of facing my family, especially my parents, with this news was unbearable. They had no~ idea how~ deep I had gone into this investment, and I couldn’t bear to lose their trust. The shame I felt was overwhelming.But just when I thought there was no way out, I discovered a legitimate recovery team called Trust Geeks Hack Expert Website. www://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ They offered a glimmer of hope when everything seemed lost. The team worked tirelessly to guide me through the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to recover 100% of my lost crypto funds. I can’t express how grateful I am for their expertise, support, and the relief I now feel.I’m sharing my story not to relive the pain, but to warn others. If you’re considering investing in anything that promises high returns with little risk, please do your research. Check trusted websites like Reddit and others to see if others have had similar experiences. Be cautious, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.Lastly, if you find yourself in a situation like mine, don’t give up. There are legitimate recovery teams out there that can help. Protect yourself, your finances, and your loved ones. The risks are real, but there is hope for recovery. E m a i l : info @ trustgeekshackexpert .. com And w h a t's A p p  +1 7 1 9 4 9 2 2 6 9 3
