Rugby Championship: Argentina hold on to claim win against Australia

Argentina held on to claim a tense 28-26 win against Australia in the Rugby Championship.

A week after the Wallabies had beaten the Pumas thanks to a try after the final hooter, Argentina managed to secure victory this time around as they capitalised on an undisciplined performance from their hosts.

Pumas fly-half Santiago Carreras kicked seven penalties and a conversion in Sydney, with 23 points coming from his boot.

Julian Montoya, who was playing his 112th Test and 50th as Argentina skipper, scored his side’s only try.

It came in the eighth minute and followed Joseph Suaalii having gone over the line for Australia early on.

The Pumas led 19-7 at half-time and were 28-7 up before three late tries from the Wallabies set up an exciting finish.

Andrew Kellaway went over the line before Filipo Daugunu touched down twice for Australia, but there was no last-gasp victory for them on this occasion.

“I’m just grateful to play with this jersey,” said Montoya. “This time we won, but I think we make it tough for ourselves sometimes.

“Australia is a great team and I’m really proud with the way that we fought. Still a lot of things to improve, but we need to enjoy winning as well.”
