01:49right hand side scrum platform
01:52and almost a full width of the field to the left for the backs to unleash
01:58you're just gonna see how we go with nicola roger at 10
02:03it was sammy carreras who was there in the fly half position last week
02:09he slips back to 15 and he's roger up at the 10
02:12stillness i'll move to the next call
02:14all right let's go again
02:22very good space on the crunch
02:28it's a place that wallabies might fancy themselves
02:31with tony the two-part he will look to stay square
02:34in front of james dolman's eyes but try and pierce between
02:38banger and ruiz the one and two
02:40angus bell's got to keep his side up on this
02:45number eight fires early
02:47free kick lost purpose and they tap and go is that lost forward
02:51play on to the call
02:55they did a good job moving quickly at the wallabies line last week in hu hui
03:01here's wanger one of the try scorers in that six point loss
03:06cruz moves it on quickly cruz looking for runners in tight now he finds
03:11molina the veteran wrapped up there by ikitao
03:17valorolo
03:18shortens them up gets within six now good continuity early on here from
03:22argentina good leg drive there as well from valorolo but
03:26they get it wrong at the breakdown the wallabies
03:30defend their line superbly
03:33four's the only man on his feet holding on
03:36was an excellent defensive set from the wallabies
03:40everyone involved a couple of must-make tackles from donaldson and jorgensen and
03:43the forwards did very well just to get their low chop going that's a
03:47confidence builder defensively not what you wanted to start the game and then
03:50canham great decision to have a crack here but also show a clear lifting motion
03:56watch referees don't like you're leaning over not supporting your body weight
04:00hold but he uses those long limbs to great effect and lifts the ball to show
04:05that he's balanced and on his feet
04:09now he gets up and comes down with a cleanly canham who is in
04:15tremendous form at the moment
04:18second year wallaby has been mvp in a couple of games already in 2026 and has
04:24had some good moments inside these opening exchanges as australia look to
04:30clear elonigan wrapped up there at the back by petty
04:36straight have to scramble to try and get this one clear of their red zone
04:39valentini punches it up in tight now
04:43now lonigin can ease into step he's clearing box kick lonigin
04:51gets it away and in the swirling breeze and a cold night in mendoza finds touch around
04:5839 from his line
05:04excellent ryan lonigin
05:06didn't quite get their set up to box kick right but they

05:32ten
05:33He won't get it, and Dangoona goes on the attack,
05:35and he gets caught from behind.
05:37It was Isgro who did a terrific job to scamper back,
05:41and he got all of Dangoona who did not know what was coming on the tail.
05:51A brilliant piece of work from Rodrigo Isgro.
05:55Just gets checked off the ball here by Tom Wright,
05:57and he's unhappy about it but stays in the game afterwards.
06:01Tom Wright doesn't have to move.
06:04He can't deliberately body check.
06:06And then Dangoona, he was summing up his options here.
06:09He didn't know what was coming behind him.
06:27Coach!
06:28Coach!
06:31Five!
06:34Six!
06:38Bruce feeds it, and the penalty goes the way of Argentina.
06:44You change your bind and go across, number three.
06:46You change your bind and go across.
06:47All going against Daniel Atupo on that occasion.
06:52Number three, changes his bind.
06:55As we mentioned, Daniel Atupo, just with James Dolman standing right there,
06:58must make sure he's technically perfect.
07:01Fancy his chances.
07:02That was a great scrum from Argentina.
07:06And a wasted opportunity, unfortunately.
07:08Wow.
07:09Okay.
07:11So, Roger gets the coordinates wrong on the touchfinder,
07:15and they're going to come back up over halfway,
07:18and it will be gold ball here with the scrum feed.
07:21So, Daniel Atupo.
07:25Keep the bind up on the body.
07:27It's a little sigh of relief.
07:29He has to get the scrum right this time,
07:30and Australia can go back on the attack.
07:32They've been doing nothing but defend inside these first ten minutes.
07:39Now, James Dolman will want to see Daniel Atupo's arm long on the body
07:43of his opposite number.
07:45Not shortening and dragging back down onto his arm,
07:48or even under his armpit.
07:50Going to show that to Dolman now,
07:52so the Wallabies can get into this game.
07:56I don't know why you've done that now.
07:58Don't buy him before I pull by him, okay?
08:04Let's go, guys.
08:07Quick reset, please.
08:12The Wallabies should know the records of James Dolman quite well.
08:16Looks after them week in, week out.
08:18Of course, 20 rounds of super rugby throughout the year.
08:22There's one for you, one for you.
08:23Mark's here, yes.
08:25Tina's turn to get...
08:26Are you happy?
08:26Are you happy?
08:28Okay, then no adjustment here.
08:29Further instructions.
08:31Everyone's on the same page now.
08:32We're good to go.
08:33Quick bind up, bind up.
08:49Ouch!
08:52Fine!
08:57Free kick.
08:58Australia this time.
08:59Lodigan happy to go fast.
09:01Donaldson sends it wide.
09:08Tipped on there by Wilson.
09:10Valatini on the shoulder.
09:13He's Ikitao up into the line.
09:15It's a good opening charge from Suat Ali'i.
09:18A couple of phases back.
09:19Looking to work him into the game.
09:21Nice.
09:21The only bell infield there for Wilson.
09:24Donaldson.
09:25Quickly away to his Western Force teammate, Williams, who spins out of the tackle.
09:30Now Lodigan over the top.
09:32Is this one to check or run to the right?
09:35And that one's going to run dead in goals.
09:38So options now for Argentina.
09:40They can come a long way back for a scrum of their own.
09:46Don't mind the option from Ryan Lodigan.
09:48Just got his angle wrong.
09:51They had a good couple of phases, the Wallabies.
09:53They got a little bit stagged.
09:54Now this is what you want early.
09:56First possession.
09:57Suat Ali'i gets the ball.
09:59Wilson gets the ball with a carry on the inside of Bell.
10:02He'd already shifted one to Valentini.
10:04And Ikitao had a carry.
10:07All the big names had a touch.
10:11Maintain our weight, please.
10:13Okay.
10:13Folding in.
10:15Yes.
10:17Louder, of course.
10:18Yeah, no worries.
10:20Okay, let's go, guys.
10:26There's a long pause on the previous scrum.
10:28We've had a free kick each.
10:29It's penalties now.
10:30Let's go.
10:32As Dolman mentioned, the first one you get is a free kick.
10:35But then after that, it's a long arm penalty.
10:36So discipline the key and set up here.
10:41900 kilos of weight either side.
10:43Don't want it to set up well, the referee, so they can go at each other this.
10:48Set-piece scrum battle.
10:57Good weight from Lost Pumas.
10:59And equally well held by Australia.
11:02On goes Roger.
11:03It's taken down by Lonegan.
11:04And now it's lost.
11:06It's play on for the moment.
11:07Australia snap it up.
11:10Kicked long off the boot there of right.
11:14Chase is good as well.
11:15It's almost trickling in the direction.
11:17The 50-22 Australia with good pressure from Donaldson there to make the stop.
11:22Got a hand from Downgunu.
11:23And now they swarm on Wenger.
11:27Good work from Tupou.
11:28Use the ball.
11:29Got an assist from Pollard.
11:31And they're looking to exert some pressure here and pin Argentina inside their territory.
11:38Cruz over the top.
11:40Tough night for those on kick receipt duties.
11:44Downgunu does a good job this time around.
11:46Lonegan looking short.
11:48Going back to the open side.
11:49Bell takes two with him.
11:52Matera chasing the turnover.
11:53Can't get it.
11:54Lonegan.
11:55Donaldson wrapping around Iquitau.
11:57On the angle they go.
11:58Now a little kick in behind for Jorgensen from right.
12:04Argentina kick to touch.
12:06And the Wallabies will have an attacking line out.
12:1040-0 from home.
12:17Encouraging start from the Wallabies in attack.
12:20It'll take a while to break down this Argentinian defense.
12:22Just turn over on the outside.
12:26But they don't mind this option.
12:28Just mention the Wallabies actually struggled a little bit in attack to get across the gain line.
12:35This one picked off by the home side.
12:40And now they look to go on the counter.
12:43Just past their 22.
12:46Matera.
12:49He's thundering forward.
12:51And there's room on that far side if they can get it in that direction.
12:54Carreras.
12:55Well handled.
12:56Tupac looking for the turnover.
12:58It's Messi at the back there.
12:59And Wilson flies up and checks.
13:03Ilyas.
13:05Yes, he is.
13:06Stay on.
13:08He slows down and now Cruz will send up the box kick.
13:14They've got plenty of good pay with their contestable box kicks last week.
13:18This one, though, falls back into the hands of Lonegan.
13:20He's on the right chunk of turf to pull it back for his side.
13:25Here he comes.
13:25Lonegan quickly away for Cannon who shaped to pass and gets up over halfway.
13:31Lonegan back short side where Pollard's waiting.
13:36This one fits out the back and it's tied it up by Petty.
13:39Okay, Varno's lost forward on the ground by Gold.
13:42Ball handling on the deck hurting the Wallabies there.
13:46And back come Los Pumas with ball in hand.
13:50Roger.
13:52Looking to send it in the direction.
13:54Oh, here's Gros.
13:56Dangunu went in and landed a huge shot to make that one go forward.
14:01So, Filippo Dangunu comes up with a huge stop to shut that one down.
14:09Oh, what a hit.
14:14Wallabies' defense is a little bit soft just to get numbers.
14:16Like, jockeying, jockeying, Ikatau, Sueli just using the sideline.
14:22It's a turnover, just some control on the ground.
14:26And Argentina, as we saw last week already, so good.
14:29So, he just comes in against the grain, makes a decision.
14:33And a perfectly executed tackle.
14:37Affects the turnover.
14:39Just, um, 12 down.
14:42There you go, so it's got a score for 10 minutes.
14:46The score, as yet, Argentina with plenty of chances early on after Dangunu.
15:06That was a real positive for the Wallabies, just being able to resist in their own 22.
15:10That's a big work on.
15:11It's just an important part of the international game, is teams getting into year 22 and being able to turn
15:17them away.
15:18Valarola just had a pit stop, just a tire change, puts his boots.
15:24But that Dangunu play, that'll fill in with confidence, too.
15:28A couple of little handling errors.
15:30You know how effective he can be.
15:32Both as a defensive player at the breakdown out wide, but also as an attacking threat.
15:56The matchday doctors have found a HIA on footage.
16:04It looked like Carter Gordon coming on as the Mexican Wave goes early.
16:0814 minutes in, Sean.
16:10Hungry for points.
16:11Is that just to keep warm?
16:12A little bit of that.
16:14A little bit of a desire for some points.
16:16A little bit of action for the scoreboard attendance in Mendoza.
16:23It looked like Gordon to 10.
16:26Donovan to fullback, which may mean Tom Wright.
16:28I couldn't see.
16:30Bang!
16:35Again, free kick for Australia off the scrum.
16:38Here is Gordon straight in with Donaldson.
16:40So the two playmakers combined, and now Donaldson gets deep inside Los Pumas territory.
16:48Then goes to make the stop on Carreras, who bounces up and evades Donaldson.
16:53It was great work, though, earlier from the Wallabies' fly-half as they look to put the clamps on Argentina
17:03here.
17:05Just far from their line.
17:07Cruz gets it to touch, and the Wallabies will have another attacking line out to launch from.
17:16It must be Iketau, because Donaldson there takes the slot of Iketau, who's off to the HIA, and he sums
17:21it up well.
17:22Sometimes I wouldn't mind holding the ball there.
17:25It was a break foot versus folding in.
17:28But it does put Argentina under pressure, and they do get this line-out launch.
17:38Canham.
17:39So athletic.
17:40Brings it down.
17:41McRite goes back short side.
17:43Found line again.
17:43Back to McRite.
17:45On we go.
17:46Wilson is going to run it around.
17:49I think there might be a flag up far side, though.
17:55Dolman awards the try.
17:57Okay.
17:58So hang on.
17:59Nice.
18:00But there are a couple of boxes to tick on the way through.
18:06Everyone's stopped.
18:07Yeah, they're going to tick.
18:08I think we're going to...
18:09Okay, what we're going to do...
18:13Right now, if you want it, the try is good.
18:15We just want to check...
18:17Are you agreed we want to check the touch?
18:19Our friends running the graphics at ESPN, they're not convinced.
18:24Pablo Mateo makes a great point.
18:26We're going to look at this.
18:26But the assistant referee's flag goes up.
18:29And Argentina react to the flag, not the referee.
18:34Yeah.
18:35Guys, back.
18:37Back, let us look.
18:41And that's why they all stop.
18:42They react to the flag.
18:48It might have been just before that.
18:49We want to get into McRite, maybe.
18:53Something off the ball or something, maybe, in the background.
18:55Where the flag's up, okay?
18:58Where is the player out there, John?
19:00Will we go ahead and...
19:04Okay.
19:06Pretty sure that right fits out.
19:09Obviously, the flag is already up.
19:11So, we need to go back here.
19:16Before this, it's when Lonergan throws it into McRite.
19:19There's nothing wrong here.
19:19No.
19:23Yeah.
19:27Yeah.
19:29Yeah.
19:30I got it.
19:31I got it.
19:32So, this is the angle there.
19:35I thought I put something on there.
19:37Okay.
19:37So, Glenn, what I want to do.
19:39Because the flag's up, it's unfair to continue.
19:42All right?
19:42But what we want to make sure is that the player is actually out.
19:46If he's not out, then we'll restart.
19:48Because it's out with you.
19:50If we start with a scrum to Australia.
19:53Yeah, James, I think I've got him out.
19:54I'm just trying to find the angle.
19:55Okay.
19:58Yeah, so the player is in touch.
20:01James, do you look at this correctly?
20:03Yeah.
20:06So...
20:06Are we sure that that player is out here?
20:09The player's good as in touch.
20:11He's still touching it when the ball is in the players in touch.
20:14We're going back.
20:15It's so close.
20:17Come back to me, and you can tell me.
20:18And I'll...
20:19To be in the opening.
20:22Yeah, they got that right.
20:23To be in the opening try to the Wallabies.
20:27Bizarre passage of play, though.
20:30There he is.
20:31Do you want to look at him?
20:31Actually, he knows.
20:33He knows.
20:33I've got that right.
20:34For the kids watching on with Dad this morning, there's a list in that.
20:37He's still in contact with the ball, and he's out.
20:40Play the ref's whistle, not the AR's flag.
20:43Move over, please.
20:44Especially when there's a dad like me, there's the touch shots, because often you're 50 metres away on a Sunday
20:49somewhere.
20:51Put the red bib on and volunteer, and suddenly you've got to keep up with the world's quickest 14-year
20:55-olds.
20:58Lovely hands there from Elias.
21:02Argentina dodge one by the barest of margins, and now let them go on the attack.
21:07That's Sinti up towards halfway.
21:11Finger.
21:14McWright off the back of a huge effort last week.
21:19Goes in and makes yet another tackle for the Wallabies.
21:24Roger keen to ignite the back line.
21:26That one's gone forward from Argentina.
21:29We'll pack a scrum.
21:29Double knock-on will be the call.
21:34And the Wallabies will have the scrum feet.
21:40And they needed it there, too, because Argentina, that little chance could be a sliding doors moment.
21:44This is a great player.
21:45Look out square at the line.
21:48Sinti can be such a good footballer.
21:52Straightens their attack so well.
21:54Opens up space for guys around him.
21:57And that's the pressure that Wilson puts on.
21:59Just affects that transmission.
22:01Okay.
22:02He just grows the one who just can't handle it.
22:04He was already thinking about what he was going to do with the ball.
22:07Agreed.
22:08Yeah.
22:09Okay.
22:09Let's go then.
22:10Bond up.
22:11Great foot.
22:12Your heel comes out of the ground.
22:17You first.
22:19Okay.
22:19You first.
22:20They react.
22:28It's a great profile of Freya.
22:30It's a great profile of Freya.
22:32Lucio Sinti.
22:35Gordon out the back of the scrum with Jorgensen.
22:40They'll swing.
22:42Looking to lean to the left.
22:46Full arm penalty goes the way of Australia this time.
22:50James Dolman's patience has expired at scrum time.
22:55Do you have an eight completed scrum yet?
22:58Maybe one?
23:00It's been all free kicks in our full arm.
23:02You can't continue to try and beat my call.
23:04We spoke about patience before the game, please.
23:08I will.
23:10I just want to be frustrated because they've been good at the scrum contest.
23:13They want to get into the contest.
23:15It is because I'm waiting for the stillness.
23:18Okay.
23:19What is your numbers?
23:20Six.
23:22It's fine.
23:23It's fine.
23:27Here's Pollard.
23:30Tried the trick play moment to go that almost came off this time around.
23:33They clear it off the top.
23:35Suali with a strong carry.
23:38And now Pollard.
23:39He dips in a contact.
23:41Lonnigan goes to Iketau.
23:44So dangerous.
23:45Close to the line.
23:46Lonnigan looking to Bell.
23:49Body height's good from Bell there.
23:51And he sets up play just to the left of the post.
23:54Valentini on the angle.
23:55Driven forward strongly there by Williams and Wilson.
24:01Ball's there.
24:02Use it.
24:03Still there for Tupou.
24:05Tupou away to Wilson.
24:07Spins out of one.
24:07Wilson!
24:09Got it.
24:10He gets to the line.
24:11It's on the line.
24:13And then lifted on the line.
24:14The captain with fresh legs has the first five points for the Wallabies.
24:23Oh, we've seen this scene before.
24:24Wallabies get a 22 entry.
24:27Iketau gives them impetus.
24:31And they had scored 10 of the last 11 tries leading into this match.
24:37And the forward pack have done it again.
24:39It's a skipper.
24:40Harry Wilson.
24:49I feel like we're glitching.
24:51Taking the ESPN pictures.
24:53Showing up Josh Cannon.
24:54I'm almost 99.9% sure it was Harry Wilson scoring balls.
24:59Love a replay.
25:00Panty.
25:01I'm going to go have a coffee after each try.
25:03Lonegan lining up the extra two.
25:10Lonegan whips it over.
25:13And it's 7-0 after 20.
25:16There it is.
25:17Good response from the Wallabies.
25:19Lovely directing over the line.
25:20Look at this forward pack go to work.
25:22And it is the redhead gear, not the white, Sean.
25:25You were correct.
25:28And we can't sit on our side.
25:30And Dolman very clear that he saw it down first on his side.
25:36I don't know.
25:37Yeah, he's good.
25:38Just past the forearm there of Ruiz.
25:41All good.
25:43Valentini throws a hand up.
25:45Says to Lonegan.
25:47I'll crash it up for you.
25:50And now Gordon Wilson after that try.
25:53Australia get adventurous.
25:54Coming away from there.
25:5522.
25:56Donald's tipping on there for Jorgensen.
25:5922.
26:08Now a little more conservative.
26:10Just happy to take that one down shy of the 20 field.
26:14He's going to get the chance to put this one into touch on the full.
26:20And he does just that.
26:33Another little reshuffle in all of his back line, Tom Wright's gone to the left wing so
26:40Dumbuna's off.
26:42Is it four?
26:43Four.
26:44Back to fullback at the moment.
26:47Four, come in gold.
26:50Come in blue, blue at the front.
26:53At the front, move in.
27:02That had some on it, that throw from Ruiz there to Elias at the front.
27:06They've done well in the end to maintain possession.
27:10On goes Muro.
27:11It was a standout for Los Pumas last week.
27:17Cruz looking for runners, getting a little wider there for Valarolo.
27:25Donaldson shields that one backwards and now releases a handy kick to touch.
27:30And that's a beautiful strike from Ben Donaldson.
27:36Ball is live.
27:40Needs to be two and two, guys.
27:41He did that well.
27:42Covered the ground well.
27:45Because he's midfielder done.
27:48That's the changeup at line-out time.
27:52Goals on the line, so you're coming.
27:53As you said, Ruiz is a little doozra at the man at the front.
27:56Who's out?
27:57Because the Wallaby centre's doing such good work in defence, Donaldson could stay back there
28:01and cover that kick.
28:01Stay out, receiver.
28:05Ruiz.
28:06Good throw that time to Elias.
28:10That one is lost.
28:12Australia might just have a crack here, playing under the knock-on advantage.
28:16Gordon kicks down.
28:19No advantage.
28:19Kicks that one about 30 metres too long.
28:22So we'll come back for the scrum, and it's Wallaby's feed.
28:28There's a couple of things we're getting word that Felipe Duncan has passed his HIA,
28:32so we expect to see him back on the field soon.
28:35It's been like the pressure in the air from Josh Canham.
28:40Both teams have had some issues with their kicking in general play.
28:43Okay.
28:44Just getting the dimensions of the field at Mendoza.
28:46Guys, we have had penalties against you now.
28:48I need you to be patient.
28:49I will speak louder, but still.
28:55Such a contrast in conditions as well.
28:57Yep, you're there.
28:58Adjust.
28:59Last week at Attitude in Hooey.
29:01Let's go.
29:01That was warm and hard and fast track tonight.
29:06Four to five degrees, local, and swirling breeze.
29:12Heavy conditions.
29:14Yeah, breeze.
29:15It's supposed to get up to around 30 k's an hour in proper rugby weather.
29:20Set!
29:24Play the ball!
29:26Lonnigan.
29:27Goes short this time.
29:29Happy to hit Iketau on the crash ball.
29:33Now wider for Wilson.
29:34He tips on to Valentini, who throws a shoulder in contact.
29:39Shorter now for Williams.
29:41Lonnigan.
29:42Over to Canham.
29:43Canham.
29:44What about the pass and then gets good shape with the carry.
29:47Vantage!
29:47Penalty Vantage here for Australia.
29:49Penalty Vantage here for Australia.
29:49You compete.
29:53I saw Litti with a good ball pace and back four on again.
29:56And they've got a fresh advantage.
29:58Markster!
30:00Go back to the initial one.
30:01It was a little further upfield and that is the call.
30:07Time's off.
30:16You're discipline needs to improve.
30:18There you competed with a tackler and then you came directly off feet to counter up.
30:23Then your nine kicks the ball away.
30:24Discipline down here otherwise someone goes to the bin.
30:33And they're kicking the ball away from Cruz there.
30:35That would have been an inch off an immediate yellow.
30:40Dolmen had set the mark.
30:42Wallabies could have gone quick.
30:4320 meters out from your own line you kick the ball away.
30:46Okay.
30:46Make sure the ball moves.
30:48Wait, wait, wait.
30:49Take a step.
30:51So the Wallabies shape up for the tap play.
30:57Bell finds his knees.
31:00Six away from the line.
31:01Now McWright.
31:04Looking for back-to-back scores here after the try from that man, Wilson.
31:09Who lays it back for Tupou who picks and goes short side.
31:14Icky-Tout with that trademark clearance from the tail of the breakdown.
31:18Good clean out there.
31:19Lonegan.
31:20Balls out is a call.
31:21Australia have to really realign in tight.
31:25And they've got a penalty advantage again now.
31:26So Wilson.
31:28A little wider.
31:28Tupou.
31:29Good hands for Pollard.
31:31McWright.
31:32Back against the grain within one.
31:34Bell wants it.
31:36He's short.
31:37Held up.
31:37Held up in fact.
31:39And we're going over for the penalty.
31:42And James Dolmen wants to chat.
31:44In fact, he reaches to the pocket and someone is copying a yellow card.
31:50And not for the first time it is.
31:52Molina.
31:55Lighting the man in the sides.
31:57I'm sorry.
31:57I've just given you a warning.
31:58And then at the last run, you've never got back on side before you go for the ball.
32:04And Dolmen.
32:04And he's gone for 10.
32:10So back.
32:11That's a tough one for Los Pumas.
32:14Defended that really well.
32:16Yeah.
32:17All of these look like they had them when McWright pierced through and scrambled so well.
32:23Do you go tap?
32:24Do you go scrum?
32:26Oh, they're a man down in the forwards.
32:29Interesting call this from the men in gold.
32:33Can they deliver?
32:34Last feet.
32:36Another try.
32:37Right.
32:39Valetini.
32:41Williams.
32:42Looks at his options.
32:44Good work at the.
32:44Last feet.
32:45Right.
32:46Clear out the defending play.
32:48Can him.
32:50He gets driven back.
32:54The Wallabies super bunched here.
32:56Bell.
32:57Well handled that time.
32:59McWright.
33:00Tupo.
33:00Out the back.
33:01Lonegan.
33:01Wider.
33:02Donaldson.
33:02And on the angle they go.
33:06And in slides.
33:09Jorgensen for Australia.
33:13I love this play from the Wallabies.
33:16So condensed the defense of the Pumas.
33:18Down to 14 men.
33:19The tap again.
33:21Compressed Wallabies forwards with the heads up play from Talia La Tupo.
33:25Great.
33:25Combs from Lonegan.
33:26Look at the shift shift.
33:27Job done.
33:28Doesn't matter.
33:28They're lining up.
33:29And Jorgensen says I'll take this five pointer.
33:33Thank you very much.
33:40The standout performance for the Wallabies last week.
33:44Had a huge hand in Carter Gordon's try.
33:4720 seconds.
33:49What proved to be a match winning lead.
33:51And now it is.
33:53Looking to add the extras after that try from.
33:57Jorgo Junior.
33:59Here is the attempt.
34:01It's on its way.
34:02And it is.
34:03Good for Lonegan.
34:05Wow.
34:06That is a handy.
34:08Extra pair of points from Lonegan after the try from Jorgo.
34:13Well the great Matt Burke said at pregame.
34:15Turning fives into sevens at international level is so important.
34:19I love this little change up.
34:21And evolution in the game from the Wallabies.
34:23Is there a bubble there?
34:25Is there something in that?
34:27But they've whacked away and whacked away a lot of the Wallabies.
34:30Ad infinitum.
34:31But this time they shifted up with a sweeping back line.
34:33And reaped the rewards.
34:4114-0 the score.
34:43Down Gooner.
34:46Takes the ball and takes the man at the same time there.
34:49Donaldson.
34:50Again they're happy to run it from in front of their own post here.
34:53Australia.
34:57They get too far this time round.
34:59And Donaldson.
35:01Leans on his boot.
35:02And makes good contact again.
35:04Finds touch.
35:05And Argentina will have a line in.
35:07Got a great little stat through from Kate Lorimer.
35:10Around the Wallabies defence.
35:12First time this year they haven't conceded a try in the first 20 minutes.
35:15And I think that would give defence coach Scott McLeod and head coach Les Kiss
35:19a lot of confidence in the work they're doing in the background.
35:24All the way in.
35:26Also some satisfaction at half an hour in.
35:29Argentina is still at zero.
35:31Must maintain that though.
35:33Stay out two.
35:35No.
35:36No compete.
35:36Cruz probing short side.
35:39The boy from Cruz there.
35:41Taken on by.
35:43Hard running.
35:44Ruiz.
35:45It's tackle.
35:47Tackle.
35:48Knee to ground.
35:49Felipe Contapomi's man looking for a response here as Pollard makes a tackle.
35:54Cruz back short side.
35:56He's Wenger.
35:57Supo is having none of that and drops him on the spot.
36:01Morok.
36:03Williams goes in and checks him down.
36:06Cruz.
36:07Up this time for Valarolo.
36:09They're looking for work.
36:10The inside centre.
36:13Wenger.
36:15Williams fighting for that one at the break.
36:17And almost raked it back as well.
36:22Valarolo again.
36:26Down the man here for another five minutes plus change.
36:31Molina off the field for Los Pumas.
36:34Ruiz.
36:36Cruz.
36:38Asking questions in tight.
36:39Wilson read it and made the stop.
36:42Now Delgado.
36:44Cruz.
36:46Finding runners coming round the corner.
36:49Good tackle again from Tupou.
36:53This time it's Valentini taking down Ruiz.
36:57But Wright almost got the steal.
37:00Sinti.
37:00Now penalty advantage for Argentina.
37:04This will help them get back into the contest.
37:07There's Delgado.
37:08You have advantage for outside.
37:11Cruz wider now.
37:13Lovely ball from Canaris.
37:15Finds Isgro.
37:19Matera.
37:20Huge passage of play this from Los Pumas.
37:23Australia.
37:24Holding firm for the moment in defence.
37:26But.
37:27Argentina playing with a penalty advantage.
37:30Right goes down around the blue laces.
37:32Valetini's up top dropping.
37:35Wenger.
37:37Cruz.
37:39Again finding big man in tight.
37:41Wilson.
37:42Gets a hand that time from Williams.
37:44Matera.
37:45With a good carry.
37:47Cruz.
37:48Sniping.
37:49Canham.
37:52Runs him cross field.
37:54Roger.
37:55Back to Delgado.
37:58And the crowd starts to get into it in Mendoza.
38:01They want to try.
38:02Roger.
38:02Dummies.
38:04Williams makes the tackle.
38:07Fresh advantage and a touch it goes.
38:12So no damage done on the scoreboard for Australia.
38:16But.
38:16Argentina.
38:17Have options with the penalty to their name.
38:23Your marks here.
38:29If there's anything clear around like tackles, my team will come in.
38:32Right now you have an option here.
38:35Or further back to three offside.
38:39That was a big defensive shift there from the Wallabies.
38:43High face count.
38:45Tupo has been excellent here.
38:47Okay.
38:47The TMO has just come in and see there's nothing clear.
38:50The Tupo foul point.
38:51Okay.
38:51Which one do you want?
38:54Okay.
38:54Let's go here.
38:56Tupo has been excellent.
38:57But now getting into the red zone fatigue wise.
39:00Just got caught offside.
39:01One.
39:02One.
39:02One.
39:02One.
39:04It's a bit of a seat belt tackle.
39:07Initial contact over the shoulder.
39:10No neck and head.
39:11And this one, they just need to be careful now.
39:14Guys,
39:16it's probably penalty only it's this next challenge off your feet at ruck time
39:19wallaby's got to be careful about that yeah you agree john luka okay
39:26um glenn i'm going to yellow card this unless anyone disagrees clearly just wait don't disagree
39:32okay stop time off time off i've actually the initial penalty is five diving off his feet
39:39i've seen a clear replay it's very cynical with players outside so number five diving off feet
39:48cynical
39:48they have clear momentum they have clear momentum number five has clearly dove off his feet
39:54cynical act as the nine goes to pick the ball up disagree because we have the chance
40:00yep okay yes you can just wait okay scrum scrum option
40:14when you get ten replays it uh looks pretty clear that that is a fair decision from james dolman
40:20scrum called let's go guys
40:24i can tina call the scrum here they're missing their number five and
40:29the wallabies are without theirs as well so this is going to be an intriguing little reshuffle to see
40:37who's got the better makeshift second rower looks like wilson goes in for the wallabies
40:43no back row ever wants to be the one pushed into the second row
40:47hopefully he's not going anywhere near he's refusing the middle of a scrum
40:58bang
41:02so crucial period coming here for the wallabies up by 14 five to go until halftime penalty advantage
41:09here's moro okay outside as well so hard to stop last week grab a couple of tries and now
41:15his back row partner petty gets it away to venga another of the try scorers in hui
41:21australia do well to hold on here argentina with the penalty advantage
41:2614 on 14
41:30matera at the back he launches in close matera's got the try
41:4335 minutes in they take their opportunity and of course it's to skip up
41:50he's put his hand up at every moment through this 35 he's worked hard
41:54he's carried hard and off the back of a excellent scrum
42:00it's the skipper that just dots it there on the plate next to the post and they needed that
42:11so both captains with tries to their name that one a crucial score for argentina to get close
42:19to halftime the conversion is good as well and it is a seven point game
42:28shows how important that scrum was printed everything the wallabies had defensively you
42:33get to it is cut there so only is the second defender
42:37but obviously sports can't get around the corner
42:42just completely changed the complexity of this match
42:45keep your first behind
43:04Good hands, soft hands there from Petty, met by Daungunu.
43:09Use it!
43:10He's not capable of taking down men, many kilos heavier than he is Daungunu, so good in defense.
43:20The high flyer on attack as well, and that effort forces Cruz into the box, hit from inside.
43:27He's 22 now with Daungunu, he's back, and again Argentina win the aerial contest through Isgro.
43:35They go kick to kick.
43:40Right now, runs.
43:42Retreat, goal!
43:43Back to the center of the field, kicks long, needs to get the chase happening, because back's coming.
43:50Quickly is Mendy.
43:54Wenger.
43:56He's very looking to hold this momentum, and it's swung back in favor of the home side.
44:02Cruz.
44:03Roger kicks long and low.
44:05Well now.
44:06Long-ish.
44:07Right.
44:08Get on the line.
44:11He's out, and Argentina have the line out.
44:16Yeah, yeah.
44:17You're on it.
44:17Just lift it.
44:19Guys, you're on the line.
44:23It was a great kick chase from Los Pumas initially off the back of this excellent take.
44:32Fisgro again in the air.
44:34He's been great over the last fortnight.
44:37And then it's the open side kick, which is a risk that puts this situation in play.
44:42All the way in.
44:43Which is right.
44:44Can't control his specialist awareness.
44:52Petty brings it down.
44:53Matera feeds it away to Morrow.
44:55And now it is Mendy with a clear run to the line.
45:0114-12 kick to come.
45:09Well, they picked apart the Wallabies' defensive structure off line out at the tail.
45:18It's brilliantly executed.
45:20Watch them just open up the gate with the outside and back in.
45:25Picked off Angus Bellwell there, Matera.
45:27And bang, bang, Argentina back in this match.
45:30The screen at the ground.
45:32The time is correct.
45:33Okay, perfect.
45:33So it is a restart.
45:35Yes.
45:37Well, just as they did last week when Australia got out in front.
45:4120 seconds.
45:41Put together some excellent set-piece play.
45:45Some set moves that brought them back into the contest.
45:49And now it's Carreras who has the opportunity to square things up as we get within 20-odd seconds of
45:59halftime.
46:00And the conversion is good.
46:05The attention to detail on that play is outstanding.
46:09Matera fully commits Bell.
46:11And he can't hustle into the slot to cover that inside line from Mendy.
46:17It's a brilliant piece of play from Argentina.
46:23And the restart doesn't go 10.
46:26Argentina are happy to play it.
46:28Now they kick long.
46:29That's the halftime siren.
46:30Australia will have to tidy this up and get to the sheds.
46:33And that is exactly what Tom White does quite cleverly.
46:50James, I think we need to look at this, please.
46:52Timo Cic.
46:53Oh, okay.
46:57I just want to look.
47:00And make sure that the action is pushing away versus leading with a forearm.
47:05On Tom White.
47:08It's the non-carrying ball arm, the left arm.
47:11And does it separate away from...
47:15Initial contacts with the sternum.
47:17Although then it slides up.
47:22There's not a lot in that.
47:23But it's definitely not needed.
47:32This half won't be over.
47:33It's at least a penalty.
47:35Shouldn't be much more.
47:36Shouldn't be any more.
47:38Okay.
47:38Do you agree this is a penalty?
47:40I do agree, yes.
47:42So you can come back to me now when you're ready.
47:49Camer's on you.
47:49Okay.
47:50It is foul play because of the extra push there.
47:52It's low danger.
47:54So it's a penalty only.
47:56Penalty only.
47:57You can't leave with a forearm.
48:02It's all right.
48:05But the reaction would have been out of place at the World Cup.
48:09At the soccer World Cup.
48:16He stayed on his feet, Cruz.
48:18He didn't dive.
48:22This is costly.
48:23They don't want the three.
48:24They could have gone 17-14 and run up the tunnel.
48:27But they want more, Argentina.
48:31Five.
48:34Six.
48:38Australia's scrum gets buckled.
48:42Montingham picks and goes.
48:44Still playing under Pelly Vantage here.
48:47So we're going to go deep into injury time in the first half.
48:54Three angle.
49:00Australia led 14-0.
49:04Scrum again.
49:04In the 35th minute.
49:10I need you to stay straight.
49:12Okay.
49:13Natana Tupou.
49:13It's not.
49:14That's not a picture of us here.
49:1518-0.
49:17Scrum again.
49:18In the 35th minute.
49:23Scrum.
49:24I need you to stay straight.
49:26Natana Tupou.
49:27It's not a picture of us here.
49:29I've seen you shift across.
49:30Stay straight.
49:33Look, we disagree.
49:343, OK?
49:47Some running repairs for Angus Bell before this all-important scrum.
49:54Tupo feels like he has an opportunity, but he's just got to show.
49:59Hips, square.
50:04And that worst lock down his side.
50:09Changed the perception of what is happening in the eyes of James Dolman.
50:13And Argentina, what a change it's been.
50:16Seven minutes now since the 35th, but he's just got some momentum and have taken it.
50:2116 in the eyes of James Dolmen.
50:22For the same team.
50:22Well there some games.
50:27Going off the field as well.
50:31Looking to inflict further damage here.
50:48And now Argentina have a chance to hit the lead for the first time in Mendoza.
50:58Now they're pretty pumped up.
51:01To Argentina.
51:05So assistant coach Juan Martín Fernández-Lóber, former great player for Argentina.
51:10He was into this forward pack.
51:12He senses the opportunity.
51:15Let's fucking go.
51:17Here we go, Bill.
51:22Here we go.
51:52Here we go.
51:53Is he held up?
51:55No, he's short.
51:56So it'll be play on here for Lost Pumas.
52:00And they will take some stopping this close to the line.
52:03Cruz.
52:04Well, that one's lost, is it?
52:06Lost.
52:07That'll be the end of the half.
52:08It was lost for him.
52:09Knock on only.
52:10That's half-time.
52:12Oh, that is massive from Suat Ali.
52:14He flew up out of the line.
52:17Shut down the play.
52:19And kept Australia square with Argentina at half-time.
52:25They each have 14.
52:29And caught the ball.
52:30You know, what we want to see is the outside backs, the most threatening attackers and runners,
52:35getting the ball in space.
