00:00The Altitude ran a kids clinic yesterday at their local training ground.
00:04They were, they felt like rock stars.
00:06They loved the sport and they'll be behind the home team, that's for sure.
00:10And I keep the man in charge.
00:13Three Kiwis, in fact, in our game day refereeing cohort.
00:19Jimmy Dollman as well.
00:21As we said, it is a warm afternoon.
00:25At Estadio 23 de Agosto.
00:30Couldn't ask for a better day for it.
00:33As Australia and Argentina resumed their rivalry.
00:37Carter, there's going to be a team, there'll be a team-seeking countdown.
00:40They shared their wins last year in Australia.
00:43It was a Wallabies too good in Townsville and then Argentina getting redemption in Sydney.
00:51Nice return this afternoon for Isaac Colette as well.
00:54Hasn't played Test Rugby since 2024.
00:56And a chance to impress new Wallabies coach Les Kiss.
01:00Okay, Pablo, Argentina.
01:02In the northwest of Argentina, Carter Gordon is ready.
01:06Three, five, four, three, two, one.
01:13Countdown expires and we are good to go.
01:16At Estadio de Agosto.
01:19And that is loose off the kickoff from Argentina and Australia snap it up and look at the go to
01:24work inside.
01:25Los Pumas 22.
01:27Here is Kaileta.
01:29Is that here?
01:30Return to Test Rugby.
01:31It's a good first up carry.
01:32Lonergan wider now for the captain, Arlott Toa.
01:36Stepping in for Harry Wilson who is rested this week.
01:39Slot to come away here for Lonergan.
01:43Williams barrels forward.
01:47Kaileta again.
01:49Prominent ball carrier.
01:51McRite ducks under the tackle there.
01:54This new look Aussie back row of Hooper McRite and Valentini.
02:03Slow build up.
02:04Good defense from Los Pumas.
02:06Well handled there by Cannon.
02:08Now it slips out the back there for Potter who scoops up.
02:12A loose ball back towards a 22.
02:14Good D this early on from the home side.
02:16Gordon a touch wider now.
02:22Lonergan back short side.
02:23Cannon slips a lovely ball away.
02:25Lonergan in turn goes.
02:26A little bit of Williams right on the edge.
02:28Fraser McRite within 10.
02:30Stolen away though beautifully by Kaileta.
02:33Play on, play on.
02:34Okay, okay.
02:36Superbly done there at the breakdown by the Los Pumas.
02:39Fly half.
02:40They look for touch.
02:41Now won't find it.
02:42It's the elbow going back for a penalty.
02:44Late tackle.
02:45That's for a late tackle from Kaileta.
02:46One goal.
02:48Late tackle.
02:49So a lead off there for Argentina.
02:51A nice pressure reliever.
02:54Yeah, good start by both teams.
02:55One goal.
02:57Late with the tackle.
02:59It was on Tim, wasn't it?
03:01Good defense from this Argentinian team.
03:03Jeez, Carreras.
03:04Nice steal there.
03:05Fraser McRite would have been happy with that one.
03:07Good entry.
03:08Very clean ball off the deck.
03:11Stopping that first Wallaby attack.
03:13Center.
03:13Here's the mark.
03:15Here's your mark.
03:16Not in front.
03:17They better, they better.
03:18Can't look good now.
03:19Give me that one.
03:23Okay.
03:35Here's the middle Wallabies.
03:36Come right down.
03:37Oh, and sit off there.
03:38I'll bring them in.
03:39Come in, Argentina.
03:43All the way in.
03:44Wallabies.
03:45Stay here.
03:46Wallabies step.
03:46So good for Australia against Japan.
03:48Their last start.
03:48Les Kies will not be impressed with that.
03:50A cheap penalty giveaway.
03:51But now they get the free kick.
03:53And it's...
03:53Mosu taps and goes quickly.
03:57It's a loose pass away from...
03:59Hold here.
03:59Hold gold.
04:0013-0.
04:01Put it up and then sent along though.
04:02And Argentina regrouped back on their 22 and sent it high.
04:06The chase is good.
04:08This play is fine.
04:11Beautifully done by Argentina who win that first up contestable kick.
04:16That let Harry Potter.
04:20One's gone up.
04:22And get back here for Benitez.
04:24Cruze got all hands initially and then just lost the handle on that far side.
04:31Okay, no hands.
04:32It was Valarola going without.
04:34So Lonegan now spins it away.
04:37Alatoa.
04:38Still under pressure.
04:39Right with a tricky pass across to Gordon who loops back around and...
04:43No advantage.
04:44Always under pressure.
04:46From the knock-on.
04:47We'll go back for the scrum walks.
04:49It didn't quite come off down the five-meter channel in attack.
04:53Knock-on advantage.
04:53For Argentina but it's a snapshot of what the Wallabies should expect.
04:57Contestable kicks both high into the air.
05:00The challenge of 50-50.
05:02But also little ones in behind.
05:04And then this down a short side with a short passing game.
05:09Wallaby's going to be on high alert with their spacing defensively as well.
05:14And the first test for the Wallabies scrum as well.
05:18Shoulders out.
05:19Into the spaces.
05:20Just here.
05:25Good balance.
05:26Slow call.
05:27Bryce Fanger.
05:27Loose head prop.
05:28Rajin had some issues in warmer.
05:30Heavily strapped ankle.
05:31Shoulders out.
05:32Shoulders out.
05:39Coach.
05:41Coach.

08:0720.
08:12get it started after the charge as well lonergan now who's running hot with the booties land his last 12
08:20shots on goal no good in argentina though as morgan tury laments the commentator's curse
08:30this is brilliant here adam's awareness of just a little circle ball the hooper
08:38because it's just great effort to scramble from argentina with banger they're the prop but
08:42banger amosa one promotion of the ball in any direction and he uses it to effect
09:14the ball in any direction and he's going to be able to be able to be able to be able

09:28Wallabies team to kick and kick out, not make it contestable, not kick at long and kick it in.
09:35Try and pressure them in the air.
09:36There's good height in this Wallabies forward pack.
09:39That's a good steal as well, Michael Hooper.
09:43That would have pleased the Wallabies captain, no doubt, as Loneggie goes to Pango Mosa, the try scorer.
09:50Okay, last.
09:51Thank you, two.
09:53Okay, onside.
09:55Use.
10:00Floats one up.
10:03Chase is good from Australia.
10:05It's a good tackle as well there from Jorgensen.
10:08And there's pressure at the breakdown.
10:10Has Australia won it?
10:11Yes, they have.
10:14Tackler, good release.
10:15Goes on the ball to lift.
10:16Holding on.
10:18First and foremost, Max Jorgensen, outstanding chase.
10:21Effective tackle.
10:23This is what you want as coaches, as breakdown coaches.
10:26Second action.
10:27Make the tackle.
10:28Well, then what are you going to do after it?
10:29And if you can have this from your wingers, Max Jorgensen, seen it from Dylan Peach, some
10:35other wingers in world rugby.
10:37How effective this is.
10:38You can get the good tackle.
10:39There it is.
10:40Slings him to the ground and uses that momentum straight back up to his feet and super accurate
10:45getting on the ball.
10:47Great execution of skill.
10:49Anti-touch finder as well from Carter Gordon to put Australia deep into Argentinian territory.
10:59Okay, receivers here.
11:00Okay, receivers here.
11:26Good.
11:26Tentary advantage.
11:28Oh, let's tell it lining up.
11:30Back short side of the Hooper.
11:31Good hands.
11:32Jorgensen.
11:34Now, I see the ball grounded.
11:36Then it rolls forward.
11:37But I will look.
11:37Well, it is.
11:38Grounded first.
11:39It is another mop of blood here, in fact, Carter Gordon who steps in far side.
11:44So, Gordon goes over after the work from Jorgensen, and it's Australia 10, Argentina get a score.
11:50Well, he shocked Max Jorgensen.
11:52They're lurking on the wing, but it's Gordon swinging back to the right.
11:57Of him, is it infringed, retreating.
11:59I think it's just retreating to make the tackle that needed to be made.
12:02Ofanga Omosa coming off the mall.
12:06And then this is where the space was, and Gordon identified it well.
12:09He gets the ball down.
12:14What's been so consistent this year with this Wallaby side, once they get in the 22, they are so effective.
12:26Oh, he sends it on its way, and this one's good.
12:35So, he's back on target.
12:40Wallaby's goal kicker, and he's 12-0.
12:42Yeah, this is the finish, of course.
12:44But the man who didn't get the ball, Max Jorgensen, Michael Hooper explained it so well.
12:48The kick chase to turn over to get the line-out 22 in attack.
12:52Entry for the Wallabies.
12:54The smattering of goal appreciates it.
12:57Daniela Tupo and Lucan Salakai-Loto watching on.
13:06That's one taken away by Potter.
13:08Goes to Valentini, who's been prominent in this opening quarter.
13:13Lonnigan, Ryder now.
13:14The McWright happy to rerun it.
13:16Lost forward by Argentina.
13:18Cannon, Damies.
13:19And works his way back in the direction of Panga Omosa, and frees the offload.
13:23Okay, open up, open up.
13:25No, no, no, no, it's nine.
13:27Thank you, good work.
13:29In possession, centre field, just behind the 22.
13:31Lonnigan, deeper now, back in the pocket is Gordon, the most recent try scorer.
13:35And he finds touch.
13:41I think Gordon, very happy there to go to touch.
13:44You called it last time, Michael Hooper.
13:46Great aerial pressure from the Wallabies in 2026,
13:49but already being able to put pressure on one of Argentina's line-outs.
13:54Very happy to try and do it again.
13:55Stay there, too.
14:00Ruiz.
14:02Nails his throw this charm around, and finally,
14:06Argentina get their hands back on the ball inside.
14:09Australia's half.
14:11Change up here for Carreras.
14:13Carreras finds the dangerous Isgro.
14:18It gets within three fastball.
14:20Good work here from Los Pumas.
14:22Excellent in fact.
14:24And Christian Kelly scores for Argentina.
14:31Well, it's a brilliant scripted play.
14:34Short line-out.
14:37Get to midfield.
14:38But it's second phase.
14:39They make the Wallabies pay.
14:41Watch them sell the bounce back.
14:45Hit there.
14:46Sell the bounce back right.
14:48And swing around to the left.
14:50And then a great little change of line from Isgro.
14:53Circles on the outside.
14:55Hit for Carreras.
14:56Comes back to the inside.
14:57That's what sets it up.
14:59The Wallabies can't scramble.
15:00And the Pumas hit back.
15:02Yeah, that first camera angle is a beauty, isn't it?
15:05Right from behind that ruck.
15:06You can see the two minds that they had Isaac Kalia in standing behind the ruck.
15:11Not sure which way they were going to go.
15:13And that just sets up that little bit of disconnection on that blind side.
15:17Wonderful little play.
15:21Thank you, mate.
15:22Excellent.
15:22Conversion.
15:24And the home crowd tells the story.
15:27He's good, and it's 12-7 now.
15:31Scott McLeod's analysing that.
15:33It's the little sell to the right before this from Cruz,
15:36which means there's no one that can come from the far side of the ruck
15:39to help Kalia.
15:41They can't get through.
15:43Gee, it's a great play.
15:45Practised.
15:46A little Felipe Contopomi special.
15:52He's trying to go deeper with this restart.
15:56Good tackle there from...
15:58Harry Potter who put pressure on with a good chase.
16:01And a good stop.
16:03And now for Ruiz.
16:04High tackle, the off the step.
16:07Can't use!
16:10Benitez Cruz taking his time with the clearing kick.
16:13And gets it over the outstretched hands of Cannon.
16:16Potter's back there.
16:18Potter can't get his hands on it.
16:20Isgro can, though.
16:21Cannon comes back.
16:23And makes a super tackle.
16:26Holding on.
16:27Which leads to a penalty.
16:28And Josh Cannon continues his sparkling run of form.
16:33No offside, no tackle.
16:35Man of the match against Italy.
16:38Man of the match against Japan.
16:43Town floor Osaka.
16:44Take me back.
16:45Two weeks feels like two years.
16:47Oh, he's doing well in the posties.
16:48That's for sure.
16:49He's flying.
16:50Yep.
16:50Here's your mark.
16:55Very popular Michael Hooper.
16:57He has been with the Stansport commentary team in their 3-2-1 votes.
17:02That was important, that turnover.
17:06Yeah, he's going to see it here.
17:08So, no ruckus form.
17:10Cannon's still onside.
17:11That's why he can make this tackle.
17:13And this is what you get from Tom Hooper coming into the side.
17:16Big man gets over the ball.
17:18Actually really good at the breakdown.
17:20It's a nice addition to this Wallabies team.
17:24Stay 10-9!
17:28There he is.
17:29Cannon pulls it down.
17:30Australia looks to Maulet again.
17:32Eight in the solo.
17:33Fairly well formed.
17:34Now it breaks up.
17:35They're within two.
17:36Panger Mossa at the back.
17:38Spins away and opens up that short side.
17:40Lost now.
17:42Lonnigan goes open though.
17:43With width.
17:44Gordon.
17:45Bullets a long ball away.
17:46Right.
17:47In and away.
17:47Calling for the switch up here.
17:49To Jorgensen who stays on the out.
17:52Still kind of penalty advantage here in Australia.
17:54No, ruck.
17:55Come on.
17:55Come on.
17:56Lonnigan.
17:57To Cannon.
18:00Dump into the hard turf.
18:01Dump into the hard turf.
18:03And Puhui.
18:04Panger Mossa.
18:06Sat down by Lonnigan.
18:08Lonnigan goes to Paisami now.
18:12There's the tackle of Wenger.
18:14It's not an advantage Australia.
18:16Building the phases.
18:17Seven and gone.
18:18Leading by five.
18:23Kalea.
18:24Kalea.
18:24Nothing doing.
18:25We'll go back to the penalty.
18:26Nobarners number eight.
18:27In the side.
18:34There's been some...
18:36Eight at the mall.
18:37In the side.
18:38It's a good mall set-ups here from this Wallaby team.
18:40Good movement.
18:43Flawless, I think, in their line-out so far this match.
18:45Their mall has gotten going every single time.
18:48And has brought an infringement out of this Argentinian forward pack.
18:54They're going to go there again.
18:56That's the first entry point to this Argentinian try line.
19:01Go through mall.
19:15It was a good scramble in the end from Argentina.
19:19What a rip that one to the right.
19:23Yep, Savio.
19:25That's him.
19:27Comes down cleanly here for Australia.
19:30They've got a penalty advantage again after...
19:32Lavin and he went early with his drive.
19:36Okay, he's not like the call.
19:39Still there for Lonegan.
19:44And Ben O'Keefe wants to chat with the captain, Pablo Matera.
19:52No, no, no.
19:53I'm not going to penalise that because I agree with you.
19:56But we've had two...
19:57Just, Alan, it's okay.
19:58Alan, Alan.
19:59Two penalties at the line-out down here.
20:02Eight side entry.
20:03Number five, early drive.
20:04That's what the penalties are for.
20:05We can't have any more because it'll be a yellow card.
20:07Yes, please.
20:08Discipline at the mall.
20:09We can tell them now.
20:18Okay.
20:18Pablo, happy.
20:20Okay.
20:22Penalty here.
20:23Early drive.
20:23Repeated.
20:27Interested to see tactics of both teams here.
20:29It's risky to stay on the ground here as an Argentinian team.
20:33Almost wouldn't mind conceding a try.
20:35You avoid that yellow card.
20:36Yeah, lift in.
20:37Throw a man up.
20:38Stay tin.
20:38Stay tin.
20:39Try and pinch the line out in the air.
20:43They stay down.
20:45And Australia get checked with that more.
20:47Well, Panga Amosa comes away with it.
20:49So, good work there from Los Pumas to deny Australia.
20:52But the threat's not completely cleared just yet.
21:00They get a chance to muscle up and set their line.
21:03Williams looks short side and out.
21:05Varnage offside.
21:06Dumpers his way close to the line.
21:08Pounding Varnage.
21:09McWright.
21:10Panga Amosa.
21:13McWright's there to help retain possession.
21:16Hooper's getting close.
21:18McWright backs his way towards the line.
21:21Here we are, try.
21:22It's good.
21:23The try sneak does it again in the whitehead gear.
21:27I'm sure it's McWright that'll come up with it.
21:29Ben O'Keefe points to the spot.
21:32And...
21:34Pablo.
21:35Pablo Matera.
21:37Yeah, yeah, he gets it down.
21:40It's now a warning for discipline here.
21:42The original warning was for line out.
21:44Now we have multiple offsides.
21:45We have another defence in here.
21:47The next one will wear yellow.
21:48Okay, offsides.
21:51Yeah, Fraser McWright does get this try.
21:54But I have warned him now.
21:55Initially it was about line out more.
21:57Now it's everything.
21:59It's a really interesting dialogue going on
22:01between Ben O'Keefe and Pablo Matera,
22:03this Argentinian captain.
22:05Next infringement in the 22 will be a yellow card.
22:08So, maximum points here for the Wallabies.
22:11Obviously come up with the points on the scoreboard.
22:14They get back inside.
22:15To make this Argentinian team infringed.
22:17They will get yellow card.
22:22Lonigan flicks over the conversion.
22:23So, guys, just be clear now.
22:24It's defensive penalty.
22:2619-7.
22:27Okay.
22:28It's a great point you make, Hoops.
22:29It's now about the Wallabies getting down the far end quickly.
22:32This is McWright placing it, got his body past the line, placing it down.
22:37It's almost a joint try with Monigan.
22:41I think McWright is awarded.
22:43He was in possession when he got it down on the line.
22:46But now the Wallabies, it's their job to get out of their zone quickly
22:48and keep that general warning in O'Keefe's mind.
22:5620 gone, 26 on the board.
23:00Australia up by 12 at the moment.
23:03And it's Lonigan.
23:05Grab this one back and, again, looks just to settle it into touch
23:09and does just that.
23:11Great to have company on Stansport across Australia
23:14for those up in the early hours in New Zealand.
23:18Skysport NZ.
23:19Come down, Jeremy.
23:20Come down, boys.
23:21So you've been up all morning and what a morning it's been
23:23and friends on Supersport and Skysport UK as well.
23:26Great to have your company to bring you the words
23:31to accompany the pitchers from the Juhui province
23:34in the northwest of Argentina.
23:36Where it is, the locals trailing by 12.
23:37We're going short side here and now working it back infield.
23:41Good run there from Caleres.
23:45Shortens up here to Morot.
23:47Morot with good leg drive.
23:49Caught by McRhyne.
23:51No, you're at the top.
23:52Release.
23:53Only caught out of the play and Benitez Cruz finds Wenger in top.
24:10Go!
24:10Go!
24:10Go!
24:10Go!
24:10Go!
24:11Go!
24:11Go!

24:11Go!
24:13Go!
24:13Go!
24:24Go!
24:24Go!
24:26Go!
24:27Oh, Cruz, Cruz within one.
24:30No! Advantage!
24:32Kelly Vantage lost Pumas now.
24:38They dived short side.
24:40Turned away.
24:45Over they go, and there it is.
24:51It looked good initially.
24:53I want to have another look through Richard Kelly, our TMO.
24:56Guys, Bull's clearly up there.
25:00I'm happy to say it's been held up.
25:02We'll go back for the penalty.
25:04The Bull is clearly up the whole way.
25:05We're going to go back for the penalty.
25:08Back for the penalty.
25:11You're in context.
25:13You're in context.
25:19Have a look at that in the background.
25:21Initially just looked at it, it was almost caught on a knee or something,
25:24and then the pylon makes it hard for Ben O'Keefe.
25:27That's for sure.
25:28On the five.
25:30Alitoa not releasing.
25:32Just having to slow the ball down, really.
25:34A good penalty advantage to give away.
25:36It's just this last one.
25:38Does it end up on Valentini's shin there?
25:41And then hands get under.
25:42Again, nine.
25:43Ten metres.
25:44Stay ten.
25:45Nine.
25:45Nine.
25:47Back.
25:48Back.
25:49Up now.
25:50Argentina.
25:51Look to maul it.
25:52Say maul.
25:53They stay attached, and they drag Ruiz towards the line.
25:57They've now got a penalty advantage.
26:01Cruz.
26:03Spins it away.
26:04The backs go to work.
26:05A penalty advantage.
26:06Harry Potter hung an arm out there, and I think he might be going.
26:10Me too.
26:10He doesn't even bother turning a little.
26:11I was going to give her the yellow, but I just want to make sure as well,
26:13if there's anything over the side, Arkay, just clear that up for us.
26:18Just wait.
26:19So the errors compound significantly here for Australia.
26:23Definitely a yellow.
26:24Arkay, just let me know if we need to go up and check more, please.
26:28Are you happy live at the moment?
26:32While we're working, while we're working, Pablo.
26:35Okay, Timo agrees as well.
26:37But you also have the penalty over there, if you want, for number two side entry.
26:40Is this a penalty try?
26:42No.
26:43We've checked.
26:43We've checked.
26:44Timo agreed.
26:44No penalty try.
26:46Definitely a yellow.
26:46I'm giving you the option of penalty here, or penalty over there.
26:50The only one over there.
26:52Number two was side entry at the mall.
27:04Well, they managed that perfectly well, Ben O'Keefe.
27:06Yeah, I didn't see any problems.
27:07This was the free shot, and there's cover coming with Lonegan.
27:11Wright's on the outside, but poor decision-making under pressure.
27:17No real attempt at intercept, going at it with one hand.
27:23Wallabies can't argue with that.
27:26Having put the Pumas under yellow card pressure, they've got one themselves.
27:30Stay 10 metres off.
27:38Guys, the penalty is on the five.
27:41Right off.
27:42Yeah, I will.
27:42I will.
27:43Just hold.
27:44Okay.
27:45Argentina all the way in.
27:47All the way in.
27:50Come in.
27:51Come in.
27:52Come in.
27:52Argentina at the front.
27:53Step in.
27:56Stay off.
27:57Don't move.
27:58Please come in.
27:59Thomas, please come in.
28:02Perfect.
28:08Now, the little change up from West Permis.
28:10And Sackwell by Australia at the front.
28:13Oh.
28:14Play on.
28:14And it stole away.
28:15Valentini now.
28:17Tries to clear the kick.
28:19and it falls for the try-score.
28:22Principal Trisiantelli, who is a dangerous broken-field run.
28:25Met well there by Matt Wright.
28:27And Payne-Git Amosa.
28:28Cruise, short side.
28:31that's an issue there from the wallabies to turn away those primers who went away from
28:36the more that have been so good to the moments earlier and now they're in a touch careful careful
28:44i'm going to penalize one i'm going to penalize one
28:49count them in the thick of it no no no no no no wallabies are trying to get the ball
28:56then number one grabs him pablo he never takes a backwards that does it's wallaby's ball isn't it
29:04the wallabies giant it's australia ball and they might have the penalty here
29:12so guys i'm going to be i'm going to be very very clear we will not have any of that
29:17in this game
29:18okay it was australia ball australia was trying to get the ball number one was on the ground
29:25he went and grabbed him pulled him that started it okay i'm going to penalize number one but the
29:30next time something like that happens we'll advance the penalty or something else okay it's the same
29:35thing for wallabies we will not have that in this game okay number one
29:47okay guys water off please number one on the ground on the ground
29:58very direct ben o'keefe with what he wants to see for the rest of this game from both teams
30:06delivering that message to both captains it's a good let off here for the wallabies teams chewing
30:09up minutes into this yellow card let's go please one of these seven and a half minutes with harry
30:15potter off the field interesting time to see what they do here technically
30:21hasn't found touch and that might hurt back camp lost pumas let him run in behind will be a tricky
30:30one to
30:30pull down it's snapped up by christian telly tremendous chasing his own kick and now with a one-man advantage
30:40they're looking dangerous Los Pumas play on here for Moro Moro driven
30:47towards charge and dumped over by Isaac Henry who's almost built like a number
30:54eight and it's good defense that time from the Queenslander
30:59yeah the 50 50 contestables from Argentina being very effective Walla
31:04we've had one one of them back three got to step forward and take responsibility
31:09they're not letting do it actually got out of jail well got tough out wide but
31:17that's where they want to get to Argentina into your 15-metre channels
31:26Cannon down for Lonnie oh and gets slowed up and somehow stands and delivers the
31:32ball back for Gordon superb work there from Monaghan
31:37could have got real messy for Australia now he hooks the box kick over the top into
31:43touch and they dodge another bullet they've seen something there this Argentinian team
31:49that definitely looked like pre-empted players running through Wallaby's just wanting to win
31:55that at the front throw a long ball there to Bobby Valentini lots of pressure coming through Ryan
32:01Lonergan does well to get that ball away right that first tackle but they're gonna have to survive another little
32:06onslaught here
32:09good hands in the front there from finger there's hitting a short run and
32:15then looping around and now with a bit more width goes moral he's got looking for work
32:21so dangerous and so powerful in time this one has been won back by
32:29Australia lost forward by Argentina and they'll pack down a scrum really good win
32:33Wallaby's win Argentina win but then just knock on on the ground here
32:46okay let's go
32:49time off
32:51this is about maybe even a little bit before in a test match when you're playing at altitude
32:57places like this South Africa around the world
33:01just get lungs are feeling a little bit empty maybe even 20 minutes in Morgan Tiranui
33:05he hit you a bit earlier than 30 minutes in
33:08you'll be much better than me then hoops I was going in the warm-up
33:12this is an area I think it'd be wise to attack the Wallabies good work at the breakdown here but
33:17in and around the rut
33:19seemingly against Japan there's been some entries in there
33:24then this game the first try came off a great little inside ball again around that
33:28first and second defender at the ruck
33:31similarly they're making little inroads
33:34Wallaby's a bit unsure of themselves around that one two three defender
33:37that's a really insightful point you make Michael Hooper
33:41Wallaby's a very dense sort of third fourth fifth sixth defender
33:44they want that physical challenge of the primary ball runner
33:49teams have gone old school pick and go a little jab through the middle
33:53it's a great effect and then also tried to add flank the Wallabies
33:58a few weeks into the Scott McLeod era as Wallaby's assistant
34:01in charge of defence and
34:05it's a couple of areas of the game that need to evolve and of course still got four and a
34:09half minutes to go with 14 men
34:10just waking up across Australia
34:15and checking in to let you know that it was
34:17Brandon Pangat Moss who scored the opening trial the afternoon
34:20other tries to Australia from right and Gordon while it's
34:26Argentina that leaves us at 19-7 30 gone
34:29yeah look I see I see both teams coming in
34:32good stability
34:34wait for the call
34:36okay
34:38Wallabies yeah watch that watch that way
34:40watch that way
34:43be happy with your gap
34:44have a good gap
34:46Lucas Kylia number one the loose head who we've mentioned one of four
34:49members of the Wallaby starting 15 including Josh Canham
34:53Hunter Paisami and Rob Ballantini from the Harlequins Club
34:56in Melbourne
34:57brilliant job they've done with their junior pathways
35:00very successful club in the Melbourne Club and Harry Potter
35:03Victorian as well so
35:05but a proud proud day for the Harlequins
35:08Harlequins Club Melbourne
35:09Honigan looks left goes right finds Gordon Gordon
35:15it's a big chunk of that one that's up past halfway it's a great clearing kick from Carter Gordon
35:29just efficient exit isn't it identifying where you are scrums in the 22 let's go to line out choose some
35:35more minutes
35:37from the yellow card and put some line out pressure on down the right end of the field
35:41advantage
35:41jumping across
35:43one by Argentina
35:44they've got a penalty advantage here and again
35:45coming the direction of where Harry Potter should be
35:50off for another
35:51three minutes
35:52McWright dives on that one
35:54we're going a long way back for the
35:56initial penalty call against Australia for
35:58jumping across the line out
36:00last play here
36:15dangerous enough when you've got seven backs to defend but
36:21very challenging
36:22offline out launch
36:25for the Wallaby back line defensively
36:28what do Argentina do now
36:30might be
36:30dependent on how deep into
36:32their territory this goes
36:45just that ability to dig in the line and
36:47by some actually does well to stay alive and
36:50just a big hustle from the inside
36:51Wallaby's got to push forward into the inside space and
36:54McWright's there to save
36:55they win their line out now try and run the kick in behind the chasers
37:00good how's the bounce
37:03excellent
37:03in the end for
37:06Los Pumas and they should have a five metre scrum hit
37:09tied it up well by Lonegan but
37:12the locals are coming
37:16there's a well weighted kick from Carreras
37:18great hustle back here from Ryan Lonegan
37:21look where he comes from
37:22right at the front of the line out down the tram tracks
37:24the five metre line absolutely burns
37:26to get there
37:28nothing else he could have done at that moment Morgz
37:31really interesting defensive set up from the Wallabies
37:33Lonegan was in the tram tracks
37:35in the five metre line near the line out
37:37and Max Jorgensen was second defender up flat
37:40the only person truly in the backfield and right out open
37:43past the post was Tom Wright
37:45of course they are
37:46without their left winger but still
37:48left a lot of space and Carreras took it
37:58close for the end of the Trouss
38:00throush
38:02Vines
38:05set
38:10reset
38:11far side far side
38:26Argentina will be pleased if they can walk away here
38:30within reach of the Wallabies
38:32get one more try
38:33they haven't had too much opportunities
38:35to the back end of this half
38:37so far this match
38:38they've been efficient with that first try
38:40good starter move
38:41they've got them in but it's been all Wallabies
38:4320 minutes into this game
38:44they've been effective
38:47very strong
38:48this Argentinian team is creeping back in
38:50I think they'll be pleased if they can get one more try on the board
38:53being within reach with not much opportunity
38:55it's a big moment if the Wallabies can hold them out
39:03free kick
39:05Argentina they tap and go through Moro
39:09Moro
39:09tackle
39:10gets his legs down now
39:12and the big men go to work in tight
39:17they're over the line
39:18can't get it down through Grondorno
39:20you have the penalty advantage
39:22you heard that from Ben O'Keefe
39:24Cruz loses and they get smoked by
39:26Moro
39:27it was fine
39:28Alan Arlottola

40:04cleared
40:06by Timo
40:07Richard Kelly
40:08confirming Ben O'Keefe
40:09there no foul play
40:10contact
40:10he cleaned the play
40:11with their hands on the board
40:12not above shoulder
40:13or head
40:15and when Ben O'Keefe
40:16warned both teams
40:17that if there were any
40:18afters he'd penalise
40:19and we didn't follow
40:20through there of course
40:21so it will still be
40:23Argentina's penalty
40:25in a perfect position
40:27and it's decision time
40:28really for Matera
40:29what's the scrum look like
40:31probably want more than three
40:32is it a tap play
40:34Michael Huber
40:35it's
40:35pop quiz
40:36what do you do
40:40well there's been no
40:41real dominance
40:42from either team
40:43in the scrum
40:43obviously setting a scrum
40:45here
40:46opens up both sides
40:47of the field
40:47first routes through scrum
40:49like a scrum
40:51you pressure
40:52this
40:52this Wallabies
40:53defends to make a decision
40:55guys
40:56I need
40:56I need you to work out
40:57your space
40:58it's not only
40:59I need you to work out
41:00your space
41:00they have gone for a scrum
41:01step back if you need
41:03next one's a
41:04nightmare to defend here
41:05for a inside
41:05outside centre
41:06and wingers
41:07Morgs
41:08Potter back on
41:13which should help
41:15time's on
41:15but it is as good
41:17an attacking position
41:18as you can hope for
41:19on the field of rugby
41:23they created some opportunities
41:25Argentina
41:26just been unable to ice them
41:27Crouch
41:30some backfield decisions
41:31in tight
41:32can they get it right
41:34this time
41:35just before half time
41:38break foot
41:39break foot
41:40too far back
41:41and they tap and go
41:42again
41:42we just rinse and
41:43repeat
41:44but this time
41:46they power over
41:51it's Mora
41:52who comes up
41:53with it
41:54Brandon
41:55Brandon
41:55break foot
41:56too far back
41:58what a great
41:59charge this is

42:02ball straight to the back
42:03free kick
42:04no break foot
42:05there from the
42:05Wallabies scrum
42:07good little
42:08deft touch there
42:10just finds that
42:11gap in between
42:12the shoulders
42:13both Wallaby players
42:14going low
42:15Carter Gordon
42:15trying his best
42:16all clear
42:18grounding's all good
42:20that's what they wanted
42:21this Argentinian team
42:27on the bingo card
42:28after
42:30choosing the scrum
42:31it's not really the way
42:32they would have expected it
42:33a free kick from a
42:34break foot
42:35infringement
42:36and then Mora
42:36is just like
42:37I'm just going to do it myself
42:39any goal jersey
42:40in my way
42:41he's going to be like a
42:42ten pin
42:44getting rolled out of there
42:45and Contopomi knows
42:47that's important
42:50two minutes
42:51he tries plays two
42:57the moment it's Australia
42:58in front

43:43at challenging
43:45contestable ball

44:09version of the game
44:10has been wonderful
44:11for a while now
44:11but
44:12they need to go to work
44:14on defence
44:14does Australia look for
44:15additional points here
44:16a bit late
44:17in the first half
44:19Williams who helps
44:20set up the first try
