The Wallabies have named their fourth different flyhalf this year with Tane Edmed<\/a> named at No.10 to replace the injured Tom Lynagh.<\/p>\n

Head coach Joe Schdmit has resisted moving James O\u2019Connor<\/a> back into the starting side in Lynagh\u2019s place, instead handing Edmed his first Test start for the Wallabies.\u00a0O\u2019Connor will deputise from the bench.<\/p>\n

Edmed\u2019s first Test ended early in Dublin last year after coming in off the bench, and while he missed the British & Irish Lions<\/a> series for the Wallabies, he made an appearance for the AUNZ side.<\/p>\n

Partnering Edmed in the halves is Nic White<\/a>, last week\u2019s starting halfback, while Tate McDermott<\/a> is in the reserves.<\/p>\n

The Wallabies will be without Len Ikitau<\/a> in the midfield with Hunter Paisami<\/a> getting his first start of the year alongside Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii<\/a> ahead of their return to Sydney. The back three of Corey Toole<\/a>, Max Jorgensen<\/a> and Andrew Kellaway<\/a> is unchanged.<\/p>\n

Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said: \u201cWhile managing injuries is always a challenge, we\u2019re excited to have some fresh bodies who have been training hard with the group for a number of weeks and are keen to contribute.<\/p>\n

\u201cArgentina<\/a> led for the whole game in Townsville until the very end and we\u2019re very aware of the threat they\u2019ll pose on Saturday afternoon. We\u2019ll need to be better than we were last week.\u201d<\/p>\n
