The injury-ravaged Wallabies will field one of their most inexperienced backlines of the professional era when they play their first Rugby Championship match in Argentina tomorrow.
Among five starting changes, coach Robbie Deans has called in winger Nick Cummins and centre Ben Tapuai for their run-on debuts against the Pumas in Rosario following the loss of stalwart backs Berrick Barnes (punctured lung) and Adam Ashley-Cooper (concussion).
The pair become the 37th and 38th players used by the Wallabies in a nightmare year for injuries, while Cummins is the 11th new cap.
Another test rookie, Mike Harris, will start at fullback with Dom Shipperley dumped to the bench to make way for Cummins, while two changes have been made to the forward pack as Deans attempts to beef up his team. Destructive Waratahs lock Sitaleki Timani will play out of position at blind-side flanker, replacing Dave Dennis, while prop James Slipper will start at the expense of Benn Robinson.
Harris, in just his fourth test, and second run-on start, will take over goalkicking duties from Barnes, while Tapuai is preferred ahead of Reds teammate Anthony Faingaa at outside centre. It leaves the Wallabies backline - missing Will Genia, Quade Cooper, James O'Connor, Barnes, and Ashley-Cooper - with a combined total of just 88 caps, of which 60 are held by five-eighths Kurtley Beale and winger Digby Ioane with 30 apiece.
