Timani and Robertson set for Wallabies debuts

Qantas Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has confirmed his bench for The Rugby Championship Test against Argentina at nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday night (6.05pm AWST kick-off).

It’s set to be a Test debut for Waratahs prop Tom Robertson as well as Rebels backrower Lopeti Timani, to take the tally to nine Wallaby debutants in 2016.

It will also be a special occasion for Dean Mumm who will bring up his 50th Test tomorrow (Saturday) night, after making his debut in 2008 against Ireland in Melbourne.

Brumbies winger Henry Speight drops out of the 23 with Michael Cheika preferring a 6-2 split of forwards and backs on the bench.

The Test between the Qantas Wallabies and Argentina will be screened LIVE in High Definition and ad-break free on FOX SPORTS 502 from 5.30pm AWST and LIVE on Ten from 5.30pm AWST for QLD, NSW, ACT and WA viewers (on ONE in other Australian States and Territories). Fans can also LIVE stream the match on Foxtel GO (for Foxtel subscribers) and on TenPlay
