Argentina claimed a narrow 26-28 victory over the Wallabies in Sydney, with Santiago Carreras’ flawless seven penalties proving decisive before a crowd of 41,912, the venue’s largest since its rebuild.
Despite a late Wallabies surge featuring tries from Andrew Kellaway and Filipo Daugunu, Felipe Contepomi’s side maintained composure to seal the win and retain the Puma Trophy.
Argentina led 19-7 at halftime after capitalising on Australian errors and poor discipline, and although the Wallabies rallied late, a final missed pass ended their comeback hopes.
