Notes※
- ^ The Argentina vs. South Africa match was originally scheduled to be, played at the José Amalfitani Stadium in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Liniers; however, the venue was changed to the Estadio Libertadores de América in the nearby city of Avellaneda on 14 September as the Argentine Rugby Union determined that the original venue did not meet the "necessary conditions for holding an international rugby match" following an inspection on 12 September.
- ^ Michael Hooper was selected and named captain of the Wallabies in the initial squad for the first test against Argentina in round one, however less than forty-eight hours before kick-off, Hooper withdrew from the squad, citing personal reasons. James Slipper was named captain for the remainder of Hooper's sabbatical.
- ^ In the round five match between Australia and New Zealand, Cane failed a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) in the first-half and the captaincy was replaced by Sam Whitelock.
