The Australian Wallabies are continuing their search for a definitive starting flyhalf as they prepare for their second Test match against Argentina in Mendoza. Coach Les Kiss has opted to rotate the squad, naming Ben Donaldson to start in the No 10 jersey. This selection marks Donaldson’s first start in the position in two years.

Carter Gordon, who started in the previous match, has been moved to the bench. While Gordon sustained a facial injury during the team's recent victory in Jujuy, reports indicate he is fit to play. The decision to bench him suggests that the coaching staff remains undecided on their primary playmaker as they look toward future World Cup preparations. The team will also feature Ryan Lonergan at scrumhalf, continuing the partnership established in the previous outing.

While the team management has framed the rotation as a tactical choice, the ongoing changes at the flyhalf position highlight a lack of stability in a key role. Coach Les Kiss has been deliberate in his public comments regarding the selection, avoiding definitive statements about why Gordon was relegated to the bench despite his recovery. The match, scheduled for Saturday (Sunday AEST), serves as another opportunity for the coaching staff to evaluate their options in the pivot position before settling on a long-term strategy.
