Injured Hooper to miss Rugby Championship match in SydneyCoach Eddie Jones makes five changes to starting XV
Wallabies co-captain Michael Hooper will miss their Rugby Championship clash with Michael Cheika’s Argentina on Saturday due to a calf injury. The Australians are looking to regroup after a horror opening Test against South Africa, while the Pumas also had a heavy loss to New Zealand last weekend.
Queensland flanker Fraser McReight will take Hooper’s place for the CommBank Stadium match, among five changes to the starting line-up. Lock Richie Arnold has earned his first Test start, replacing Nick Frost, while the other change in the well-beaten forward pack has Jed Holloway replacing the injured Tom Hooper in the No 6 jersey.
