Australia coach Les Kiss has called uncapped flyhalf Harry McLaughlin-Phillips into his squad in place of the injured Carter Gordon and recalled Jordan Petaia ​for the test against South Africa in Perth on September 27.

Gordon ‌fractured his leg in the 28-28 draw with Argentina last week that kept the Wallabies unbeaten in four tests under Kiss.
