Overview
- Santiago Carreras scored 23 points off the tee and Julián Montoya delivered the lone try in his 50th match as captain.
- A late Filipo Daugunu try was allowed despite an apparent forward pass that went uncalled by referee Christophe Ridley and the TMO, leaving Australia with a losing bonus point.
- All four teams now sit at 2–2; Argentina has 9 tournament points, two behind leaders after South Africa’s 43–10 win over New Zealand compressed the table.
- World Rugby rankings will move Argentina up to sixth on 84.40 rating points (+1.56) and drop Australia to seventh on 83.40.
- Los Pumas face South Africa next in Durban on September 27, then a home-designated rematch at Twickenham on October 4.
