14' TRY: Geronimo Prisciantelli (15) scores for Argentina

By Michael Doyle
Lovely from Los Pumas.
From 30 metres out, midfield, scrumhalf Simon Benitez Cruz runs to the right from the base of the ruck, and passes to fly half Santiago Carreras, who loops back in the opposite direction.
An inside pass from Carreras to winger Rodrigo Isgro breaks the Wallabies defence.
Isgro is brought down, but Los Pumas recycle the ball quickly, and fullback Geronimo Prisciantelli crosses the line.

The Wallabies have struck again.
It started with a penalty won by winger Max Jorgensen who forced an Argentina back to hold onto the footy in the ruck.
The Wallabies went for a maul from a line-out near the goal-line.
Off the maul, the Wallabies powered from close range with forwards, then Carter Gordon received a short pass and scored in the right corner.
Ryan Lonergan was successful with the conversion attempt from the right touchline.

7' TRY: Brandon Paenga-Amosa (2) scores for Australia

By Michael Doyle
The Wallabies have scored a magnificent try, and it was the forwards who did all the work.
Lock Josh Canham had a break down the left wing, then threw a pass to lock partner Jeremy Williams who wrapped around him and charged to the left corner.
Williams was brought down before the line, but got a lovely offload away to hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa for the score.
Ryan Lonergan missed the conversion attempt from the left touchline.

5' Australia wins a penalty from the first scrum

By Michael Doyle
The first scrum of the day is a win for the Wallabies.
It was a well-contested scrum to begin with, before Los Pumas tighthead Francisco Moreno was penalised for standing up.
A small win for the Aussie forwards.

History of Wallabies vs Argentina Test matches
M
By Michael Doyle
Australia and Argentina have a rich history of Test rugby against each other, dating back to the first contest in 1979.
Overall, Australia and Argentina have faced each other 43 times — 30 Wallabies wins, 10 Argentina wins, 3 draws.
Despite Argentina having only won 10 of the 43 Tests between these nations, they have been victorious in four of the past seven contests dating back to 2022.
2025: Argentina win 28-26, Sydney
2025: Wallabies win 28-24, Townsville
2024: Argentina win 67-27, Santa Fe
2024: Wallabies win 20-19, La Plata
2023: Argentina win 34-31, Sydney
2022: Argentina win 48-17, San Juan
2022: Wallabies win 41-26, Mendoza
Wallabies seeking four consecutive wins for the first time since 2023/24
M
By Michael Doyle
The Wallabies come into this morning's match having won their previous three Test matches.
Consecutive wins this month over Japan and a thumping 57-10 win over Italy in Perth in July have the Wallabies on a nice streak.
Now the Wallabies have a chance to do something they have not achieved in a while: win four Tests in a row.
Australia last achieved that during a stretch from 2023-2024.
The streak started in their final match of the 2023 World Cup, a 34-14 win over Portugal. The following July, the Wallabies had back-to-back wins over an understrength Wales and then finished off the streak with a 40-29 win over Georgia.
Certainly not the stiffest competition in world rugby, but all Test wins count and that was the last time the Wallabies strung together four on the bounce.
Argentina's Test results in 2026

By Michael Doyle
Los Pumas have played four Test matches in 2026, all at home.
They started against Scotland, Wales and England in the opening three rounds of the inaugural Nations Championship.
The Nations Championship got off to a losing start with a 47-38 defeat by Scotland. A more promising 35-12 win over Wales was then followed by 31-24 loss to England — a match which they never led at any point.
Los Pumas had one Test match against South Africa earlier this month and pushed the world champions to a 17-10 defeat.
