The Wallabies will quickly switch focus from their series sweep of Japan, with coach Les Kiss to unveil his travelling squad for the two-Test tour of Argentina on Wednesday.
Kiss is likely to take a group of around 35 players to South America, for Tests in San Salvador and Mendoza, which have plugged the Rugby Championship gap left by the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series between New Zealand and South Africa.
And it is largely a clean bill of health for Australia, too, after they scored 41 unanswered points to thrash Japan 56-17 in Townsville on Saturday afternoon, when six of the Wallabies' eight tries were scored by front-rowers and the other two by back-rowers Harry Wilson and Charlie Cale.
After losing Carter Gordon, Tom Hooper and Len Ikitau, the latter to a nagging ankle injury that required surgery, last month, the Wallabies have minor concerns over winger Max Jorgensen [rib], while Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who sat out the weekend's Test, is also managing a hamstring.
Meanwhile, Kiss was able to sit Allan Alaalatoa, Josh Canham and Rob Valetini against the Brave Blossoms at the weekend after the trio had all started the previous four Tests.
Alaalatoa's absence allowed Taniela Tupou the opportunity to start in Townsville, with the tighthead enjoying arguably his finest Test in four years as he scored a first-half double, and was busier than ever around the paddock.
"Well I know him and Lukhan [Salakaia-Loto] really respond well to each other, and I thought their power game was good for us in the first half," Kiss said of Tupou's performance. "And then the second half, their power came through, which allows the Jezza's [Jeremy Williams], Cale's [Charlie Cale} and Harry's [Wilson] to profit from it, we know that we can put that plan in at any given time.
"With Nela, he's talked about his sojourn with Racing and found a little bit of himself again... and been big about players being themselves as much as possible. And I think him moving to France, he's found out who he is a bit more and he's come back and really connected with the group a bit more and found that bit of mojo that he likes to thrive on.
"So a lot of credit to him, he's done a lot work overseas and come back in really good nick and worked hard again. I was impressed with his energy on and off the ball, and it was about time to make that replacement with Massimo [De Lutiis] to come in and finish the job."
Kiss confirmed that Tupou would be headed to Argentina, too, where the Wallabies will face a sterner scrummaging challenge than the one they confronted the past two weeks, highlighted by Cale's second-half pushover try - one of the rarest sights in Australian rugby.
"Reg [regulation] 9 is in place, so I'll be talking to Patrice and Teddy, the coach and team manager of Racing [92], again this week to make sure they understand how we're looking after Nela and making sure we're doing the right thing with him and working him hard, so we'll be talking with those guys so they can trust the process as well. But he'll be with us."
Tupou is expected to be available for the Test against the Springboks in Perth in late September, as reported by ESPN earlier this year, but that will likely conclude his Wallabies involvement until the November window of the Nations Championship.
The decision to give Ikitau a fortnight off has also paid dividends, with Hunter Paisami impressing at No. 12, first alongside Suaalii in Osaka, and then with Reds centre partner Isaac Henry.
"Len had some runs the other day, so we'll find how that lands probably by Tuesday hopefully [or] Wednesday when we announce the squad going forward," Kiss revealed. "So hopefully everything points in the right direction with that, but we're not sure yet. We'll get a report in the next couple of days."
If Ikitau isn't quite right, then the Wallabies are in a fortunate position where they can afford to leave him at home to continue his recovery for the final seven Tests of the year.
While Paisami and fellow Reds midfielder Josh Flook are signed to play overseas next season, Isaac Henry will return to Ballymore next season and, after starring in Townsville, the Queenslander's ability to play at both 12 and 13 has given Kiss the "competitive pressure" he needs within his centre options.
"I've talked often about [how] we need competitive pressure in all our positions. And I think what we saw with 'Su' [Suaalii] last week, he was prepared to move from the centres to the wing as well. He's also prepared to move from the centres to 15 if we need to," Kiss said when asked whether there was now increased pressure on Suaalii at 13.
"We had Tom Wright move from fullback to the wing... so we need this competitive pressure across there but also create the flexibility that players can adapt and move into different positions. So I think we've got some real good traction in that area as a starting point.
"Zaccy [Henry] performing that well -- and let's not forget Flookey who had an injury and it was unfortunate he didn't get a selection -- but Zaccy got his chance. But we need to go deep in every position as much as possible, so that's really comforting. Whether it's pressure or not, the players will sort that out.
"But I know that it's really useful and invaluable to have that return from Zaccy today, and I thought that Hunter and Zaccy combination worked well for us."
