Overview

• Argentina led 19-7 at half-time and pushed out to 28-7 before Australia scored three late tries to close to within two points in Sydney.
• Julián Montoya scored the Pumas' only try, with Santiago Carreras perfect off the tee for seven penalties and a conversion for 23 points.
• Carreras received a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on in the second half, during which Andrew Kellaway and Filipo Daugunu (two) sparked Australia's comeback.
• Australia conceded significantly more penalties than Argentina, a disparity the Pumas repeatedly turned into points and which Wallabies players acknowledged cost them.
• The sell-out result evens the teams' two-match September split and leaves the Rugby Championship table finely poised ahead of Australia vs New Zealand and Argentina vs South Africa after a bye.
