Overview
- Argentina scored 52 points in Cardiff in a record win over Wales, handing Steve Tandy a bruising first match in charge.
- Wales confirmed Jac Morgan will miss the rest of the autumn internationals with a dislocated shoulder, and Tandy said cover will be called up.
- Wales’ discipline and accuracy faltered with Tomos Williams sin-binned and conflicting reports over Ben Thomas’ punishment for kicking out at Pablo Matera.
- Key Pumas including Mateo Carreras, Pablo Matera, Gerónimo Prisciantelli and Julián Montoya were influential in a clinical, multi-try display.
- Wales now face Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, with reporting noting a loss to Japan could damage their Rugby World Cup draw seeding; Louis Rees‑Zammit’s return offered limited but promising flashes.
