SYDNEY, Aug 19 : Wallabies centre Len Ikitau was recalled to the Australia squad for the two-test tour of Argentina on Wednesday after recovering from an ankle injury.
• Ikitau missed the two victories over Japan this month, but will be expected to start against the Pumas in San Salvador on August 29 and Mendoza a week later.
• The 27-year-old could, however, be moved to outside centre as Hunter Paisami had two strong displays in the No. 12 shirt against the Brave Blossoms.
• That would leave no room in the midfield for Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who was included in the squad despite a minor hamstring strain and could be used in the outside backs.

• Lock Miles Amatosero was not included after picking up a three-match suspension for a red card in the first game against Japan.
• “We’ve looked to maintain consistency in selection with the bulk of this squad having laid a solid foundation over the past few weeks,” said new Australia coach Les Kiss, who took charge at the end of last month.
• “Touring Argentina presents another tough challenge for us as a new group and it’s one that we know will require us to go to another level as we continue to look to build and develop our game.”
• Forwards: Allan Alaalatoa, Angus Bell, Charlie Cale, Josh Canham, Massimo de Lutiis, Tom Hooper, Isaac Kailea, Fraser McReight, Josh Nasser, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Billy Pollard, Aidan Ross, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Lachlan Shaw, Carlo Tizzano, Taniela Tupou, Rob Valetini, Jeremy Williams, Harry Wilson (captain).
• Backs: Filipo Daugunu, Ben Donaldson, Carter Gordon, Isaac Henry, Len Ikitau, Max Jorgensen, Ryan Lonergan, Tate McDermott, Declan Meredith, Hunter Paisami, Dylan Pietsch, Harry Potter, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Kalani Thomas, Tom Wright.
