Transcript
00:00:0031,000 in the house at this football stadium
00:00:20it's an electric atmosphere and it's Argentina v the Wallabies it's a nice take early as well
00:00:29from Williams who opens up and steps over Bertranou lovely work from Jeremy Williams
00:00:35off the kickoff conditions absolutely perfect and Harry Wilson spoke pre-game
00:00:43about their desire to run the ball use it
00:00:46temperature up around 30 degrees local Cohen Bethe gives chase trying to rip it away from
00:00:58Belgi there but there's no pulling it back from the experience Argentine winger Bertranou
00:01:07through the hands goes Albornoz and there's a touch of space here for Chocobarres run down by
00:01:17Jorgensen Nacarenas starved the ball last week it's a nice early touch here is his side pushes
00:01:27inside the 22 and it's a penalty advantage Bertranou
00:01:33Albornoz out the back 20 screen runners up in the line that was Sinti
00:01:41provided with Tupo good hands down the short side now lost by Gonzalez
00:01:47back it goes slung to the penalty advantage here at Los Pumas
00:01:50in the line goes Malia wider is Matera back to Malia Galloway hangs on and rips it away so
00:02:11I'll pull it up and come over for the penalty
00:02:15it's Argentina ball really seen great intent from the Argentines to start this match wanting to get
00:02:21the ball out the back of those forward pods the Australian defense they're just a little
00:02:25bit short on the edge as I think Max Jorgensen does a great job in covering and trying to solve
00:02:31that defense with his uh with his support players coming across so good job Max Jorgensen to get his
00:02:36hands on a couple early tackles there Morgs in the dominant carries in the middle of the path
00:02:42this meant the Wallabies couldn't get width and get set defensively you're right Michael Hubert
00:02:47great numbers swinging around for Argentina and they found space in the wider 15s very early in
00:02:53this test match and Australia of course been considering that a dry track will suit the
00:02:58width of their play you see Sklavi does a great job trapping Carlo Tosano in there
00:03:03and winning a deserved penalty advantage
00:03:05the first kick of the afternoon is good for Argentina and they're up by three
00:03:17that's the perfect start for Argentina an emotional beginning to the match but they're
00:03:23straight into their rhythm it's a team that is so dangerous with their quality
00:03:27catch pass in the wider 15s and they've shown that straight away
00:03:41Australia work the restart long
00:03:46there is Albornoz who'll knock it to touch and Australia won't mind that they'll have the line
00:03:52out roughly 30 out yeah it's a good kick off there by the Wallabies to answer that
00:03:59first three points there go long get the line out set piece
00:04:06Fesla with his first throw of the afternoon goes over the top and finds Frost
00:04:13gives him some width down that short side now as Wilson crashes it forward so busy last week with
00:04:19ball in hand was Wilson so too was this man Iquitao now Tosano Tosano bouncing in field and
00:04:26away from Gonzalez Gordon Tupo tipping on for Coroy Mbete Marika looking back in field
00:04:33he catches the hands of Petty but a nice little charge down the left there from Tupo okay and
00:04:39Coroy Mbete where is it Mark already hugely encouraging for the Wallabies balance between
00:04:44forwards and backs handling the ball then Iquitao promoting himself and Tupo does well to get
00:04:49an early touch speaking to some of the players during the week they certainly had an intent to
00:04:54go the same way to go the same way a lot more this week as opposed to last week Jake Gordon
00:05:02back and forth going down the short side piston attackers Justin Harrison mentioned last week
00:05:08this week getting a lot more flow around the corner early in the game to answer back here
00:05:13so the penalty call coming late from the assistant we're far side for the no arms tackle
00:05:19from the test Centurion Montoya gives Benny Donaldson a comfortable shot from in front
00:05:30try and level things up certainly be a nice settler to get underway wouldn't it
00:05:35get this kick three points get your eye in good answer back by the Wallabies
00:05:43it was the match winning penalty goal that he landed last week right on full time that saw
00:05:50Australia come from behind
00:05:55seven days on looking for the opening score Donaldson yes 3-3
00:06:04nice response from the Wallabies
00:06:09that opportunity at line out time from a good kick restart key players already involved in
00:06:14attack Cary Wilson Nick Frost ever present in getting the ball over the game line
00:06:25Williams took the opening kick off beautifully and he doubles up the effort with another take
00:06:30and charge great work from Williams he's his locking partner Frost
00:06:45Donaldson back in the pocket tidies up and saves his half partner
00:06:51but Argentina climb into the breakdown and they win the penalty
00:06:55great pressure there from the Argentinians just the ball popping out the back of the
00:07:01rut there which allowed the Argentinians around the rut to go through and pressure
00:07:05Jake Gordon really good to get an early charge down and backed up with a solid penalty there
00:07:18once again that inability to control possession
00:07:21delay and exit efficiently I don't know he's back under pressure Lavanini does well there
00:07:29and Montoya traps Williams over the ball he's sealing denying a fair contest
00:07:36I just had to go to the front here is the captain of Centurion Montoya
00:07:41four down three in for touch now lost by Los Pumas in Australia look for the quick transfer
00:07:47it's a super pass from Stewart now Iquitao gets creative coming cross field looking wide for
00:07:52Kelway now Jorgensen Jorgensen bouncing infield Stewart on hand to secure the ball Iquitao
00:07:59Vixen goes for the past week's best performer setting up play here for Frost
00:08:06super work after the turnover from Australia to take it long and up towards the Argentine 22
00:08:13Gordon back short side Frost juggles it pulls it in at the last second Bell
00:08:23back for Gordon Donaldson Tupo lovely ball away for Kelway who feeds it to Wilson who
00:08:29runs hard and flat at the line Tupo again away here for Donaldson it's gone forward
00:08:36Bob John
00:08:41there's a real urgency from the Wallabies early on to get their hands on the ball some nice play
00:08:46expansive play they're in attack to get the ball to the edge it would have been nice balls
00:08:52get that ball to the edge with Kelway could they have gone back to the other side and tried to
00:08:57pick apart the lazy defenders from the Argentinians retreating yeah it's an interesting tactical one
00:09:02for especially the game controllers watching at home is two pick and goes after a line break
00:09:06does that give the Argentinian the excellent Argentinian defense time to get reset
00:09:32on that side and then give you the referee no leaning first and keep your breath
00:09:40the sector of the game the Wallabies will come in with a lot of confidence
00:09:46this week the trio up front right there Angus Bell Matt Fessler and Taniela Tupo the return
00:09:53of Taniela Tupo a couple of crucial penalties helped the Wallabies to their victory last week
00:10:02Australia launches Schalke but Argentina come away with it it's lost in the midfield though
00:10:15and Australia's swoop on it was Stewart who tidied up Gordon coming back to Frost still
00:10:19forwards a tight ball away for Fessler now Williams to Tupo down the edge
00:10:25when he bites off too much down that left-hand side was the advantage over for the knock on
00:10:32yes it was
00:10:37Australia on me good early scrum there by the Wallabies the Argentinians getting the ball
00:10:44out just in time I think Taniela Tupo starting to get some ascendancy uh just looking at Taniela
00:10:50down the sideline could almost be a highlight reel every time one off goes Matera Bertranou
00:11:00touch wider here Schalke Bares space for Delghi Valentini throws him down the crowd don't like it
00:11:10Matera chopped by Kroenbetek not many arms in that tackle but it's clay on at the moment for
00:11:17the Wallabies Bell trying to evade the defenders pushing up hard Gordon through the line Donaldson
00:11:25space for Valentini who loses it
00:11:32come back from lost Pumas Australia will have the feet of the scrum
00:11:44lots of positive signs for the Wallabies but defensively they're just narrow at the moment
00:11:50and the quality of the sweeping play and catch pass of the Pumas but they've got some interesting
00:11:56options out wide ones that need to readjust there but also maybe just be a little bit calm
00:12:01let the ball do the work because Wallabies themselves especially on turnover have a chance
00:12:10before this excellent Pumas defense that we discussed gets reorganized just look a little
00:12:17bit
00:12:34do you struggle to hear yourselves
00:12:43i think it's one of the great things about being a player in a match like this is sometimes your
00:12:47head's in the middle of a rock and you can hear a crowd absolutely erupt and you're just hoping
00:12:51that it's for your team not the opposition and usually when you are at a stadium like this it is
00:12:56for the opposition so you've got to get to your feet and scramble back which is how much of a
00:13:02factor is the crowd going to play in a game like that can decisions be swayed when you see a high
00:13:08tackle like that in a game early i don't think that was a high tackle i'm not saying it was there guys
00:13:14but they're going to be a factor in this match just got to keep them quiet if you're a wallaby
00:13:21supporter good luck
00:13:27freaking australia they won't be able to repack it
00:13:31harry wilson says jakey take a second let us get set
00:13:38there's australia we go we go now
00:13:44donaldson sends one high
00:13:50too high too far into the 22 at heads and it's an easy take for malia and he gets the free kick now
00:14:04retreat retreat donaldson working down that right hand side back once more here's
00:14:11a ball not why don't you do it keep working one back i don't know trying to outmaneuver
00:14:17kellaway not many manage that kellaway coming back looking for kareem better
00:14:21who comes across for ikita who's out on that left wing
00:14:30flies over the top of the low shot now donaldson says send it wider donaldson looking infield oh
00:14:38he wanted gordon he needed gordon and it was intercepted in the end by argentina
00:14:46who run back a little kick towards jorgensen gets away from one now hurls the ball back
00:14:53infield for donaldson that's a good pass for fesler
00:14:59gordon bell lovely feet angus bell spinning away from defense
00:15:05gordon going short time valentine he scored one last week with him two now one now
00:15:13kareem bette inches short
00:15:18tozano driving in the line it's a second effort and he gets there
00:15:25same movements to goal and the try stands
00:15:29i don't have any tackle compete and he's just passing the ball there's the explanation from
00:15:34referee brucey that's a madcap attack from the wallabies getting their offload game going and
00:15:40chasing in supporting roles through the same hole color design i wasn't sure himself he was trying
00:15:46to look up and work out whether it was a penalty against him or a tribe pierre bruce that was an
00:15:51or a tribe pierre bruce that was an excellent position
00:15:56we've been worried about a second movement promoting the colleges that are promoting
00:16:00his body to get there but the wallabies
00:16:06have looked dangerous got their short passing game going
00:16:12fantastic passage of play in the lead-up to that donaldson with an early line break there
00:16:18beforehand offload not going to hand max jorgensen gets the wallabies back into the game
00:16:23with a nice little carry off the edge and angus bell through the middle that's where
00:16:27a player like him in front row can make such a difference donaldson looking for the conversion
00:16:35and it is over for the aussies it's 10-3
00:16:42there's the carry that you mentioned from angus bell just pierces through the middle
00:16:47of what is normally a rocksold second third defender spot for argentina and then
00:16:52the wallabies whack away close to the line and tozano gets it
00:16:58i didn't know i wasn't sure not all trouble again for australia from a restart and it's
00:17:05lost permits back in possession inside australia's 22 that's a lovely pass
00:17:11from a torture to petty now casual under the post he hits starvy
00:17:20looking for the immediate reply it's ripped away but australia were offside
00:17:28and once again
00:17:34it'll get fiery it gets feisty it'll settle down and simmer down
00:17:40once again they get it wrong after scoring points
00:17:46yeah the first couple were good especially jeremy williams in the slot but
00:17:50there's a great challenge in the air from argentina and there's like a try from the
00:17:54wallabies has sparked them themselves the pumas and they look dangerous with this dry track and
00:18:01their ability to play flat at the line michael hooper what what makes a really good performance
00:18:06is small things done really well and sometimes restarts can be an overlooked facet of the game
00:18:12what we've seen in these certainly this match and last match for the wallabies and the argentinians
00:18:17is how important the restart game is jeremy williams off to two really good restart catches
00:18:21early in the game and then goes a bit missed there and you can see what happens the argentinians are
00:18:28attacking right under the sticks and they'll work it forward through casual unknown try sneak for
00:18:35argentina they've been up in front they go over wilson will protest it won't
00:18:43make a difference as kramer makes a 10-8 with a key to come
00:18:51well the intent was there to tap five meters out from the wallabies line in front of the sticks
00:18:55an easy three they didn't want it the little play at the back wilson gets checked marius
00:19:02yonker is the tmo will be clearing it to make sure it's legal you'd be surprised if it was
00:19:17kremen runs a great line there to score the try
00:19:21it's hard to see how the argentinian player isn't obstructing there as we go to the ref
00:19:25i'm gonna take a better look to check the action of argentina potential
00:19:31that's right so we're looking at the actions of uh the argentinian play makes a contact with
00:19:38number eight goal okay and that impacts the tackle the defense line okay i'm in front of the screen
00:19:45show me the footage please
00:19:57so for back of the quick tap here you see
00:20:00love it is loving it coming back against the clock on the footage
00:20:04does it matter 11 and he makes contact with wilson
00:20:23is there any clear contact with number eight made by argentina
00:20:28yes i'm gonna put that clip up for you now i'll put that angle up because i had the shot clock on
00:20:32so you don't see there's a clear contact with your function so he makes contact there
00:20:38okay and impact the tackle he made contact eight of the step back
00:20:42so there is an impact neutral penalty okay guys i've got the decision
00:20:51yeah that's correct that's the those facts are correct
00:20:54captain but he's not in front of the ball he's kicking our guy yeah but
00:20:59i will give you the answer so your right is on side at the moment of the pass but there is a
00:21:04contact made with number eight was to step back so that is obstruction you cannot make a contact
00:21:09thank you sir no try
00:21:15australia off the book
00:21:18i think so
00:21:23nice clear refereeing there if there was contact made with harry wilson there was going to be
00:21:27obstruction and that was clearly the case it's it's hard as an attacking team when you're so
00:21:32close to the line lavinini pulls up and almost creates an extra defender but he's creating an
00:21:38obstruction and i think that's what makes a pretty clear cut is that contact that was made with harry
00:21:43wilson and then remaining in the line he's a big uh big man to get around there it's a nicely run
00:21:49little shape back against the grain and then out the back to a guy like crema so hard to stop
00:21:57there's that lovely throw from the fairs finds frost and now valentini
00:22:04hungry for work hungry for gary's he flies in a crema
00:22:14water kicking here for jorgensen it's a well way to kick
00:22:19gives jorgensen a chance to make the tacklers pinned in contact no penalty coming for the
00:22:24home side crema see how argentina respond after having that try disallowed moments ago
00:22:34it's back to the boot of bertranut
00:22:38donaldson donaldson with a terrific take and good feet after the receipt kellaway
00:22:47stewart floating one long again it's ikita looming up down the left growing better goes in and lends
00:22:55a hand gordon valentini lowering his shoulders into contact there gordon skip passing
00:23:05across the face of wilson to trooper short side again back to the tic-tac
00:23:15bell who played a huge role in the lead-up to tisano's try
00:23:19penalty astray that's smart from gordon who just milked and collapsed all over petty and they get
00:23:26the penalty it's the tactic of any good number nine isn't it just to milk a bit of extra out
00:23:32of some player not being able to roll out of the rack they're really liking in the attack from the
00:23:37wallabies andrew kellaway's ability to pop out the back of that pot taking pressure off ben
00:23:41donaldson hamish stewart to be that extra ball player within the back line that's what someone
00:23:48like an andrew something that andrew kellaway could do really well for this wallabies today
00:24:03six six
00:24:07fezler over the back to wilson valentini takes three with him
00:24:14so coming away argentina and now it's a penalty vanics for australia so
00:24:21the shot work in attack is catching argentina
00:24:27unawares at the moment they don't know how to respond and it's a penalty to the visitors
00:24:32one of the things that has improved with the wallabies already in 2024 under josh
00:24:42beneath their breakdown work very clear in what their roles are and also the approach of one
00:24:51player taking out another player they're trying to win the race to the ball in that
00:24:55making it clear when see this nice little shape around the corner maybe look for jake
00:24:59gordon on the inside next time off robbie valentini if they get another chance but they're
00:25:03so quick to the ball at the moment the wallabies montosha is this clear and obvious to a referee
00:25:09when he gets unfortunately trapped they're rolling towards the wallabies side as opposed to east west
00:25:18bobby valentini all year has just been fantastic at getting over the advantage line
00:25:24not enough emphasis is made on some players like that whose ability to get over the ad line and
00:25:29then what you create off the back end of that you get argentinian players falling on the wrong side
00:25:34because they're not making dominant tackles you're getting penalties around the ruck that you wouldn't
00:25:39usually get donaldson uses every available second on the shot clock well nervous moments for joe
00:25:47schmidt upstairs but benny d nails it through and it's 13-3 that's an important period for the
00:25:55wallabies the coaching staff while looking tense must be slightly relieved they avoided
00:26:00leaking seven and got their own three
00:26:06ikita beautiful feet from ikita gets away from one and then away from his 22
00:26:18he was outstanding in the wet last week and on the dry track in santa fe he's looking
00:26:24just as dangerous if not a touch more lethal as gordon
00:26:29gets the kick away throwing better pushing up hard that's an awful pass from malia
00:26:38that's what does the defensive work just short of halfway
00:26:42kramer
00:26:44oh
00:26:54over halfway that's a nice run from the captain bertranou finds labanini
00:27:03fighting for the ball tupac comes down with it looks to rip it away from bertranou and does
00:27:09aussie ball donaldson stewart will kick now punches one long and low would love it to snap
00:27:16hard right would love it to check here and it does and the chase is on from australia
00:27:23it's a lovely ball though in the end under all sorts of pressure now argentina go on the counter
00:27:30malia at the back ice cold cindy
00:27:34it's folded by wilson and bell
00:27:52in the direction of growing better flies back and smartly gives it away to donaldson
00:28:00they've been a kicker of the two he goes right up the zipper down towards the posts
00:28:05back is albunoz donaldson well donaldson gets a shot on him and then loses him
00:28:20both sides happy to put it through the hands it's been an entertaining
00:28:24first quarter argentina can't hang on it's back with the wallabies stewart tozano the tri-scorer
00:28:36williams
00:28:39has had some terrific involvements in this first half tupac slips off the tackle of petty
00:28:47donaldson snaps the pass to stewart well read by gajo
00:28:54they are trying to lift argentina back into this contest down by 10
00:29:00tozano gordon around the corner comes donaldson tupac
00:29:06it's gone backwards wilson
00:29:10leaps over on pausa bell turns his back in contact now donaldson hits it crossfield
00:29:17looking for jorgensen who gets up it's a good competition for the ball that caught an argentinian
00:29:23hand it's going forward and the clatterball comes up for australia
00:29:32it did get mad capped there for both sides at the moment the wallabies
00:29:36are deliberately putting themselves quick water break
00:29:41water on now it's hot when there's a water break 25 minutes in
00:29:48the wallabies are deliberately playing very flat at the line even when ben donaldson has the ball
00:29:52as a playmaker and putting themselves their catch pass and they clean it under pressure
00:29:56but it's working because it's exerting pressure on that argentinian defense who's struggling to
00:30:01keep up as well is their ability the wallabies so far to get the ball out of the back has been
00:30:06really pleasing i'm sure joe will be going into halftime happy with the wallabies getting the
00:30:11ball out the back they're also liking some of the kicking options from the wallabies here today
00:30:17hamish stewart okay off a turnover kicking long almost getting a 50-22 if you've got a bit of a
00:30:24bounce but really nice kicking options down the middle of the field what kicking down the middle
00:30:29of the field does it makes it hard for an opposition team to exit it's a long kick out
00:30:35some smart kicking there from the wallaby back three because i didn't know you called me boss
00:30:39i will come back there i did have a little
00:30:42wasn't working i did have a little chuckle because i'm pretty sure i heard wallaby skills coach
00:30:48owen tuland's irish accent with marika korobiti had the ball say pass it to donna to kick it
00:30:54and argentina themselves they're dangerous we saw delghi nearly take off from his own line
00:31:02albornoz does well to survive that precious situation they told me there was no conference
00:31:08australia so we come back on this one to be fair with both teams okay
00:31:15i'm sure some of the bigger boys pretty happy with that water break coming on there's been
00:31:19a fair bit of ball in play action so far really exciting game at the moment
00:31:26i'm going to come back for that knock on earlier from chanel and marika
00:31:30um
00:31:38might be an opportune water break for argentina one they got that decision right which will mean
00:31:42actually get this sleep but also just for them to just take a breath they've had some quality
00:31:47moments in attack haven't been able to convert that one great 22 entry hoops but there's points
00:31:52in this argentinian side we know that's for sure sure is they looked really electric coming out of
00:31:58the gates early and backed up with a couple handling errors which i'm sure they'll be
00:32:02wanting to clean up as the match gets on we've heard about the dry conditions many times so far
00:32:08so the argentinian is probably not happy with some of their cheap knock-ons there throughout the
00:32:12middle of this game
00:32:29oh
00:32:33at pace the argentinian attack looks to put it through the hands wider now for careras
00:32:41well handled by ikita matera
00:32:48fighting on the ground and getting the pathway for

00:33:21materia tips on the gajor balotini kicks charge down fesla stewart throwing bette
00:33:30now rips a lovely kick long good defense australia
00:33:36marika who else leads them up
00:33:38it
00:33:41and after all that it will be wallaby's ball inside argentina's half
00:33:50just uh as i made mention of poor handling
00:33:55front row here losing the ball but in the lead-up to that the ability of the argentinians to keep
00:34:00the ball alive pablo matera almost getting tackled getting the ball away that offload
00:34:06game we know so much of the argentinians games based off them keeping the ball alive
00:34:10keeping the pressure on the opposition we saw in a really nice passage there
00:34:23balotini looks up sees three many frontiers no problem i'll have each of them now frost
00:34:31on the other side of that
00:34:34argentina come through the rock and bell comes out the other side donaldson good hands kellaway
00:34:42jorgensen in field for kellaway will have the cruisiest of runs to the line
00:34:49that stunning attack down the right jorgensen kellaway try australia
00:34:55well they did well they're under pressure off their second ruck the wallabies there's a little
00:35:00riffraff play watch gordon go back to the open and donaldson changes direction lovely catch
00:35:05pass from andrew kellaway the youth and quality of jorgensen combines with the quality experience
00:35:11of andrew kellaway great try wallabies i mean great vision there by ben donaldson i don't think
00:35:17that's a set play i think he's just been able to see that on the fly over course of the game
00:35:24over call and take that ball down the right edge i think that's what's been in the lead up
00:35:29the wallabies going same way same way same way has opened up opportunity that the defense from
00:35:34the argentinian is starting to flow same way as well so ben donaldson to recognize
00:35:38that short side play really encouraging for the wallabies
00:35:46that shot giving all wallabies fans a touch of anxiety i'm not sure if it's second
00:35:52spot on i'll tell you what is that man's kicking
00:36:00nice little period for the wallabies here just see the way that ikatown kellaway are able to
00:36:05burst down that channel stay square and get the basics of their catch pass right well so here you
00:36:11often refer to a riffraff play just break it down for us what are you referring to it's just
00:36:15the sweep of jake gordon running one side and another playing swing down the other way like
00:36:20he's running a 200 meter bend named after former wallabies assistant coach and irish coach alan
00:36:37gordon working it down the left
00:36:41left argentina keep it alive i'm not sure how it all transpired very quickly in the shadows
00:36:50molly at donaldson very cleverly pulls out of the tackle there and there are numbers
00:36:54over to the left for matera and his men that's a lovely offload and they hit straight back
00:37:01they won't deny them this time and carleras scores for los plumas jeez pablo matera has been good
00:37:09so far today jumping into a few tackles last week there's no sign of that this week his leg
00:37:14drive through the tackle and his ability to get the offload so if you're going to jump from out
00:37:20you must catch the ball when you land in completely legal there and there's that man matera hoops
00:37:27great line back against the great argentina be threatening to break this wallaby's defense apart
00:37:32and they respond as they must 30 minutes into this game
00:37:37it'd be really frustrating for the wallabies that look like a great kick from jake gordon
00:37:42probably looking to go to line out there and then all of a sudden you're under the sticks that one
00:37:47hurts
00:37:54and we are going just under a point a minute in santa fe
00:38:03it just had to feel pre-game around the stadium that was set for something special a shootout
00:38:10up was on offer and both sides have come out firing
00:38:26donaldson sends it up into the afternoon sun
00:38:33it
00:38:48virginia takes his time and that creates some space across to the right
00:38:53for argentina city over halfway
00:38:57away williams throws him backwards it's been a polished first half from jeremy williams coming
00:39:05in for lucan salakar lotto they haven't lost any of the physicality that lucan offers up
00:39:12with williams injection
00:39:19choco barry's
00:39:27perez comes in on that hard line
00:39:31jeez they're making some big shots here australia and they'll need to as argentina come on with it
00:39:37wilson takes the knock on and then lets a long left punt run he needs this to bite
00:39:43it will malia's back to tap it down and we'll have a goal on restart it goes quick smart work
00:39:50from the argentinian fullback and he gets away from gordon and now runs it to touch
00:39:56and australia won't mind that one little bit
00:40:00that could have been dangerous going down the edge there i haven't seen many of those happen
00:40:05how many players looking for that opportunity so as long as the ball goes five
00:40:10that's all legal love the scramble there from marika korobiti to get back in the game that
00:40:15guy's just in every frame all the time isn't he i talk about it a lot with rugby teams i reckon
00:40:22the teams have to have a little bit of their coach in there and that's something that filipe
00:40:26clinton probably would have done every day of the week that that freedom that you can see this
00:40:30argentinian team have to express themselves
00:40:39hook down off the top from frost donaldson wider for ichi town who rides the tackle of choco bares
00:40:46good from argentina climbing at the breakdown and they snap one back from the wallabies
00:40:55tupo wilson tupo crossing cover infield goes gonzalez
00:41:04gonzalez not held so he bounces up and goes again bertranou crema key moments here as we close in
00:41:12on halftime
00:41:18drop by stewart and valentini bertranou goes through the legs penalty argentina
00:41:26well how good some of the ball movement in this match so far by both teams absolute
00:41:32ripper of a game on our hands last week torrential rain real grind physical defensive battle this
00:41:39week i've seen some lovely ball movement both teams providing some really great pictures of
00:41:45what it looks like to move the ball from side to side stay in the game it's awesome
00:41:52that intention from both teams means it's it's one of those shootout games where you can go tit
00:41:57for tat the wallabies in argentina for that matter as well need to work out is that the
00:42:02kind of match they want to get into is this going to be a 45 to 40 we hope it's us wallabies really
00:42:07get this breakdown wrong they get their numbers wrong their roles wrong and they nearly pay the
00:42:12ultimate price because the argentinian ability to shift the ball to width quickly
00:42:19has caused dangers right throughout the first 35 minutes of this match
00:42:25they scored a rolling ball try last week argentina they transfer now
00:42:29to matera so they go away from the mall and australia waiting was that lost forward by
00:42:34nope it's a penalty vantage here for the home team
00:42:44out the back they come matera pops the shot from throwing bits looking for his second
00:42:51sent down six out malia that looked okay
00:42:57knock on the call might have just come forward and we'll head over for the penalty
00:43:04for the penalty
00:43:18come back to discipline quickly
00:43:34well michael with all your experience as a captain what do you do here you tap this
00:43:43well the argentinians are tapping
00:43:51brought down one away matera sends it off the base to the right
00:43:59here comes the captain in game 100 it had to be montoya for argentina
00:44:12well it was the right decision wasn't it they pretty much two phases later and they they go
00:44:17over with montoya on his 100th test match i mean this is his bread and butter aren't they front
00:44:22rows close to the line pick and drive or one off the ruck stuff they're so powerful and so tough
00:44:28to stop there montoya no different this is the back end of it isn't it's the bravery to take the
00:44:36tap gargio didn't want anything but tapping himself and then said numbers around the ball
00:44:41steward had a little crack at the ball they were quite wide at first defender the wallabies and
00:44:46montoya was able to slip inside that first defender and it's 14 straight points for argentina
00:44:55and they pull it back to a three-point game
00:45:02the wallabies are in danger of slipping away on the scoreboard but argentina have come
00:45:06roaring back into this match and you would have thought they had a chance to go to a line out
00:45:11five minutes after the wallabies line back their ball they thought stuff that we're gonna tap and go
00:45:16two to go in this first half that comes chocobares
00:45:33long down to kellaway donaldson happy to play territory
00:45:39we will kick and snap it to touch and it will be lost pumas ball inside the wallabies half
00:46:00for the scene with the wallabies unsuccessfully trying to defend their
00:46:04alitalia is on a tight end prop for tennille tupo
00:46:17yeah it seems that jeremy williams got a hand on that
00:46:21really good defensive pressure there by the wallabies it's what someone like jeremy williams
00:46:26can bring into the team he's not the tallest lot in the international game there the knock on as
00:46:31you can see jeremy williams getting his hand through i think probably a question mark over
00:46:36the not straight there shawnee thank you is that your opinion who so is that sean through doing
00:46:41his fake throw in the commentary he wants to come back for bledislaw in the box he knows how it goes
00:46:46thank you former wallabies captain michael hooper okay so 10 seconds to go in this first half
00:46:53it should be the final play in australia hang on they've conceded the last 14 points
00:47:04south of setting up a 20 to 3 lead thanks to casano and kellaway told to use now argentina
00:47:12valentini comes across looking to chase down bertrand new there's ruby gonzalez
00:47:18change of time here for australia matera tips on the chopper bar is he gets drilled by ikita
00:47:26matera reaches out loses it that's gone forward that's gone forward and that should be the end
00:47:32of the half i didn't hear you gordon throwing high fives around and so he should
00:47:39there we go okay no try short losing forward
00:47:45off to the sheds we go in santa fe where australia lead argentina 20 points to 17
00:47:53at the break the wallabies with their noses in front for the moment
00:47:59at the break the wallabies with their noses in front for the moment
00:48:03argentina came flying back into the contest scoring two quick tries just before halftime
00:48:10do you think the pace stays up more through this next 40
00:48:15I'm not sure I'm sure we'll see what happens
00:48:17at the break the wallabies with their noses in front for the moment
00:48:22argentina came flying back into the contest scoring two quick tries just before halftime
00:48:30morgatrini and michael hooper in commentary
00:48:34do you think the pace stays up more through this next 40 the pace and intent to play that
00:48:40pace will be there which benches which teams can physically cope with doing it perhaps one
00:48:45of them might flinch first and say you know what we're going to win this test by slowing it down
00:48:48but they both want to play
00:48:53it's been a great watch this rugby championship matchup resumes
00:48:57the restart sent long by ben donaldson
00:49:04but you know
00:49:07the relieving kick from his half's partner back for australia's killer ways the shadows
00:49:13start to creep across the field here in santa fe and once going forward
00:49:20we talked about a fast start at the beginning of the match fast starts after halftime
00:49:26wallabies getting away right before the half
00:49:31pablo materia just going short and knocking the ball on that could have painted a different
00:49:34picture starting off this match
00:49:37after halftime wallabies getting away right before the half
00:49:43pablo materia just going short and knocking the ball on that could have painted a different
00:49:47picture starting off this match in the second half the wallabies need to gain momentum they
00:49:52haven't been able to control momentum for the duration of the match so far they've shown some
00:49:58really good spurts of play in attack and defense but gaining momentum owning the restarts owning
00:50:04the set piece parts of the game being clean and disciplined is going to be really important as
00:50:09this match goes on and joe smith when do you get your bench on morgues as you said at the
00:50:13start of the match that's going to be a key difference here away goes gonzalez spurtuno
00:50:22wraps around his carreras kicking down to kellaway who calls the mark and has the free kick
00:50:31backwards it was just first phase it was much better spacing defensively from the wallabies
00:50:38back line got narrow weren't able to get off the line square in the first half
00:50:48australia don't find touch back arm argentina with the up and under the touch too much on it
00:50:58and what about that at halftime what a sight what a sight this is hey james slipper equaling
00:51:05george gregan is the most capped wallaby of all time credit to the bloke doing it up in the front
00:51:12row taking back or not so happy for him and his family retreat retreat moving back yes that's a
00:51:20knock on clear as day bad news for marika his first slip of the afternoon and it's a huge gain
00:51:30for argentina
00:51:34that's the first two and a half minutes of the second half was who was going to flinch first
00:51:39both teams wanting to play down the other end
00:51:42a rare mistake from marika coin benji
00:51:49the danger here morgues is playing conservatively playing conservatively
00:51:53the wallabies and the argentinians at the start of the match really chanting their hands moving
00:51:58the ball playing on top of the defense you don't want to come out of your second half
00:52:04play percentages too much you still need to change your hand throw throw the first punch
00:52:09and see how the opposition reacts
00:52:13they might throw a straight right here the argentinian team
00:52:20working strong at the scrambling of the penalty vanish
00:52:23good legs from gonzalez butchering under pressure butchering loses it and it's
00:52:30time for the penalty
00:52:40is
00:52:52i just got james slipper there simply losing his angle under pressure on the loose head side
00:53:10oh
00:53:18balls up at the front there so frost climbs in on nick frost brilliant isolated
00:53:26montage clamped down and got the turnover no need for frost to roll away there so the rule is it's
00:53:34still a mall he can hold the ball carrier there and just lie in front of it so it goes to a scrum
00:53:39really smart play by the lock nick frost and a real timely play argentinian score their ball
00:53:51try they've got all the ascendancy crowd gets back into the game that is a huge play in the scheme of
00:53:57things in the context of this game for the wallabies to get that turnover and now going
00:54:03back to a scrum didn't look too bad on james slipper's side when we saw the reverse angle
00:54:08that last scrum so see what we can do here in the second
00:54:17that's an important scrum that's for sure much of the pressure in the
00:54:19beginning of the second half has been on the wallabies
00:54:22so
00:54:29wilson comes away at pace and cannons into albornoz sets up the ankle on the exit for donaldson
00:54:40who's under all sorts of pressure we'll find touch the charge from tina's ball
00:54:52between two posts during the week bernard foley talked a lot about having multiple picking options
00:54:58easy pressure for the argentinians there to put on ben donaldson
00:55:02as there's no relief there's no ability to shift that ball away from his right boot
00:55:11the lord laurie fisher unhappy with the exit
00:55:15well if he kicked it any straighter he would have been charged down for sure
00:55:19it was almost the best result
00:55:24talked about changes both coaches have made some moves josh nash is on for matt fessler
00:55:43barbie who's been influential he's replaced by bellow and lavanini
00:55:48by much of last week off the bench got the start this week and he's been busy and physical
00:55:55these are probably i don't know what you think who's maybe five ten minutes perhaps
00:55:59earlier than planned normally maybe the heat getting to these teams looking at the team
00:56:03sheet we're talking a lot about momentum but a lungy gleason a tate mcdermott these conditions
00:56:09are suited to players like this who do you take off well the whole back row for the wallabies
00:56:13are playing well at the moment so it's getting that balance right of utilizing who's playing
00:56:18well and keeping them on the field but also unleashing some of these weapons you have on the
00:56:21bench jake gordon's been such a solid mainstay in this team throughout the year but tate mcdermott
00:56:27opens around all different types of threats around the rut and a real live wire in attack
00:56:34and energy and defense speaking of so some challenges there for joe skit went to roll out
00:56:40his bench
00:56:48fires a beautiful throw
00:56:52they work the set play emilia goes within five
00:56:58thank you
00:57:06caught by slipper fizzler is off the field nasa's on and he makes the steal sharp work from nasa
00:57:19on his own trial and valentini needs help here he's sent backwards
00:57:23oh no that was not the play
00:57:30run us through that one hoops what a steal as a first involvement from nasa coming onto the field
00:57:39they're backed up by losing and going over the try line what a steal that was there by nasa the skill
00:57:48flexibility there of the hooker to get the turnover
00:57:53directionless after this the wallabies turning into a five meter scrum which
00:57:58like a bit of an injury toll as well that phase had with lenny yukatao in the background
00:58:07i'm sure what this is guys well lenny katao a couple of phases before the nasa turnover came
00:58:13in and made a decision to close down argentinian attack around the corner and absolutely whacked
00:58:19kuma's ball carrier that saved to try it and then you mentioned right at the end when they
00:58:24lost their way they lost jay gordon and ben donaldson had to look around going into nine and
00:58:29already seen in the south african new zealand test of a turnover for not using the ball in the five
00:58:34seconds russet's been discussing that at length with nines at the moment i think the wallabies
00:58:40at the moment i think the wallabies felt under pressure in that regard
00:58:44time back on this crime right
00:59:07coach
00:59:13uh
00:59:22putting all sorts of pressure on the wallabies they're an inch away the try saver from wilson
00:59:31was good initially but they get there with the second effort argentina are over
00:59:38so
00:59:42a really good capitalization of pressure there by the argentinians from the get-go of this half
00:59:48they've looked up they've looked really into this match set piece has been really strong to start
00:59:53off this second half as for a wallaby point of view this is just hard to defend one of the
00:59:58hardest places probably on the field to defend is about a five meter scrum out from your own
01:00:04line opposition ball there's just so many opportunities for the argentinians to attack
01:00:11and they do it close to the to the scrum balls
01:00:19it was tough tough for the wallabies they lost their back row of that scrum collapse
01:00:22which isolated jake gordon he knew he had the two threats that you mentioned blindside
01:00:27and for the first time in this match argentina are in front
01:00:38just to start to the second half they want to dominate a possession dominated territory
01:00:55they keep the touch on the exits good from los pumas
01:01:0024 20 to score having the crowd come back into this game they have gone electric since this
01:01:07latest tries come about they are really involved in this match you can see it in the
01:01:12pumas body language they're into it excited
01:01:18willson brings it down donaldson goes flat at the line to ikita donaldson wrapping around stewart
01:01:28to valentini it's been another five-star performance from the john eels middlest
01:01:36sleeper has to jump into that
01:01:40pass and was hammered by kramer kill away wilson gets laid out off the ball donaldson stewart
01:01:51gets laid out off the ball donaldson stewart it is now
01:02:00gordon to frost three men waiting gordon fast for short stance delivers for wilson
01:02:10jorgensen looking to get on the outside but just catches a tuft of the white grass
01:02:18and back comes caritas donaldson
01:02:28sending it up towards halfway and it's a good touch finder from benny d
01:02:40just trying to add up winning little moments the boomers whether it's with ball in hand
01:02:46they're excellent defense too they're winning some of the combat
01:02:50in tight and then the kicking game at the moment is just more accurate
01:02:54and finding space than that of australia
01:03:03picked off by australia throwing bette sends it away for tizana stewart long ball for ikita
01:03:11callaway was hungry for the ball jorgensen dropped by caritas in a touch he goes
01:03:19good defense there from the pumas really strong on max jorgensen that's two outs by max
01:03:25jorgensen the last two plays swingers you just need to fight to stay into the field of play
01:03:34recycle ball and get it down the opposition end little wind smogs you talk about really
01:03:40important it's not massive plays that the wallabies need now it's little involvements
01:03:44little wins to get them back get in the right field position build phase build aerial pressure
01:03:51through the kick to fight your way back into this picked off again by the wallabies that was williams
01:04:00what can they do with it stewart will kick looking in behind for 50 22
01:04:05it forced careers to really mowed up
01:04:09he got back and took it on the flying sends a long one of his own trying to pin down callaway
01:04:16infield for donaldson
01:04:19retreat retreat it's a nice stride from donaldson who comes it down to malia
01:04:24never move back number nine and then rides him into the santa fe turf
01:04:31matera we're playing a penalty advantage here gordon was in front of the kicker and
01:04:41i mean no further play it's time for the penalty it's argentina ball
01:04:50that's a new precision in the law around being in front of the kicker
01:04:54penalty here
01:05:00yeah i must admit i'm caught in the past with that one i thought uh the play is still allowed
01:05:04to stand your ground once the ball carrier carries it five meters it passes you're back
01:05:09on side has that changed that change it's sort of like the dupont precision to it to stop that
01:05:15sort of thing happening where players loitering offside can be put on side
01:05:19penalty or scrum where the kick yeah this will hurt enough side in front of the kick
01:05:26we've got the option penalty at the front where there is a key
01:05:37so if you recall andrew callaway shifts to ben donaldson and kicks it from
01:05:4110 meters out from his own line that's a scrum option there for argentina
01:05:50jay must actively retreat until put on side
01:06:03let's actively retreat move not just stand there with your hands up saying i'm not in the play
01:06:08move
01:06:16can i raise an offensive effort here
01:06:20australia and turn away argentina who scored the last 21 points straight
01:06:27told to use here virtually now the penalty advantage
01:06:30if they're told to use and they don't the penalty comes after it you default to the penalty
01:06:38and it's like there's supposed to be the penalties supposed to use it it's a whole thing
01:06:42assuming there's probably a good call coming from the assistant referee on the sideline getting a
01:06:47different angle because he's called james slipper loose head and he's got a good call coming from
01:06:51the assistant referee on the sideline getting a different angle because he's called james slipper
01:06:57a different angle because he's called james slipper loose head
01:07:06i was surprised they didn't put out of arm for advantage earlier and he did say to use
01:07:11it because it did look dominant and maybe there's a late call coming from this i'm not quite sure
01:07:19fast feet of tate mcdermott make their way onto the field so to
01:07:25some lineup
01:07:38big time big moment to make the change five meters out from the line
01:07:44making the changes for both of them i wonder if that's a continuity thing not bringing on tate
01:07:49early
01:08:00not stable not stable
01:08:06not no stability
01:08:10we would have thought the tape dermot come on a bit earlier than tom liner
01:08:14come soon but bringing them both on must have been a plan that all of his coaching
01:08:20staff have in mind from the get-go training all week together real intentional change there
01:08:44oh
01:08:59sends it away and now it's in the hands of simpting
01:09:08just like that
01:09:10the enforcer goes over and makes it a nine-point game kick to come
01:09:19within the first 17 minutes of the second half argentina have won all the little moments i
01:09:23just want a big one scrum dominance managing the game but then also just winning contacts
01:09:30hard at the line and who else but pablo materia around the corner close proximity
01:09:36extends his side's lead
01:09:40that penalty shows how much that hurts the wallabies now
01:09:47great play by the argentinians aren't they keen for contact those lines they're running
01:09:51there off the scrum that is so hard to stop that is a hard tackle to make max jorgensen he makes it
01:09:57good roll by the pumas attacker to get the ball back and recycled nice and quickly
01:10:02and as you'd expect the conversion sails through and all of a sudden it's argentina leading by 11
01:10:13picture to see what kickoff they take here borgs you can go short you can contest this
01:10:18or you can put it long knowing that the argentinians aren't probably going to kick it out
01:10:23long there to the terror
01:10:39argentina don't look for touch kill away
01:10:44more than happy to find contact mcdermott gleeson
01:10:50being starved of field position and possession in this second half australia
01:10:57trailing by 11 now they lead by 17 at one stage
01:11:03good hands from nasa there to sleep but mcdermott
01:11:11sends up a contestable easily handled the end though by malviya gets away from the defense
01:11:20no the
01:11:25sends up a contestable easily handled the end though by
01:11:29malia gets away from the defense brought down eventually by williams
01:11:40no
01:11:49starting to hit their straps now that one looked a touch forward but it's play on
01:11:54Argentina send it over the top for Kelleway
01:11:59as always safe at the back Nassar
01:12:12McDermott looking for Jorgensen down the right hand side it was taken back in and there's been
01:12:18some 12 key moments that the Wallabies have got wrong in their danger zone and
01:12:28Argentina have been punishing them on the way through
01:12:35and the Wallabies have looked not their best this year they look choppy in attack their kicks look
01:12:42aimless and I think we're just seeing one or two of those things creeping what the Wallabies need
01:12:46to do is get real direction get really assertive on how they're going to play this next just five
01:12:51just 10 minutes I need to think about the next 20 just yet Gleason gets up at the front put
01:12:58some pressure on McDermott makes a good stop
01:13:02Perez goes in a scrum half Molina Perez again Gonzalez held up by Frost
01:13:25Bertranu coming back for Belo
01:13:28Montoya wouldn't he love for the scoreline to stay this way playing his 100th test for Los Pumas
01:13:39James Slipper doesn't wrap his arms and it's a penalty to Los Pumas
01:13:51at the moment Argentina especially in this second half have won the race
01:13:56around the corner with them without the ball you mentioned it hoops in
01:13:59with regards to the Wallabies attack but also when Argentina have the ball
01:14:04he hoops just doesn't get that left arm up enough to show that he's attempting to wrap the impact
01:14:10gets him before he can it's an ugly picture to show the referee
01:14:16while he's just parking up in attack but also losing impacts defensively that adds up to trouble
01:14:22test match rugby you talk about losing impacts before the match we saw Carlo Tizano's work
01:14:27around creating opportunities for other people to get over the ball and make turnovers or at
01:14:31least pressure and slow the rug we're not seeing that at the moment from the Wallabies more effective
01:14:37tackles more a little bit more line speed not huge amount of line speed but enough line speed to put
01:14:43some Pumas under pressure so we saw some of the knock-ons that they had in the first half we saw
01:14:49ball go to ground and a bit of uncertainty through their attack at times but right now
01:14:54it's very much the Pumas dictating terms and I think the Wallabies to get back in this game
01:14:59need to switch that around more yeah Argentina have trapped the Wallabies in a vicious cycle
01:15:04of fastball and losing impacts their attacks been excellent
01:15:11this to make it
01:15:1431 straight points for the home side
01:15:19and the flags a race it's a two converted try lead now for Los Pumas
01:15:31it's telling isn't it Sean a point a minute for the last 31 of them
01:15:36line up with the kick down towards Molina
01:15:50goes back for who rifles it down to Killaway
01:15:56goes back for who rifles it down to Killaway
01:16:03Killaway coming across the face of the defense
01:16:11line up good got it to Iquitao trying to copy some tap from Matera in back play and
01:16:18like he always does the youngster just bounces to his feet and says who's next
01:16:23who else wants to go oh that's excellent work from
01:16:27Bello he got in and made this steal and he made the
01:16:32steal clean and there are plenty of numbers over the right now for Argentina
01:16:36this is Molina who pops beautifully Oviedo try
01:16:50so
01:17:02oh it's as good as rugby gets from Argentina the Santa Fe crowd are appreciative
01:17:11excellent turnover work by Bella at the breakdown
01:17:15and they just supercharged themselves into action look at the flood of support play through here
01:17:20they've got numbers all around and options everywhere they can shift the play and then
01:17:25punching through the same hole it's excellent play absolutely outstanding rugby and Oviedo
01:17:33punctuates it with the dive when you play the Argentinians you know they are going to run on
01:17:39high emotion and they are just playing with all that at the moment Bello a fantastic turnover
01:17:45but their ability in this match to look for opportunity off the turnover has been fantastic
01:17:50the Argentinians the Pumas springing to life there as they convert the goal every time they make a
01:17:55turnover they're wanting to make a play and this is what you fear when you play a really motivated
01:18:00Argentinian team their offload game comes out we saw a few from Pablo Matera at the beginning of
01:18:05the game and now finishing off that try as a last pass some really quality play there from the Pumas
01:18:19they don't always go to script special games but his hundreds will be memorable Montojo
01:18:25it's a beautifully taken restart there from Gonzalez and they transfer it back through them all
01:18:42backwards and then contact
01:18:46up by 21 they won't mind that as the clock continues to run it looks like
01:18:51Joshy Canham's made his
01:18:55entrance as well hoops yeah congratulations to Josh Canham huge moment for him and his family
01:19:03as always debuting for your country really important call here for lineup and what play
01:19:10they decide to make do you risk and chance the hand with a play that you've got in the bank that
01:19:15maybe is a bit riskier but you could score first phase or do you go to a banker do you try and get
01:19:20your forwards back into the games you try and spread the ball and move them apart this is prime
01:19:25attacking real estate for the wallabies getting our forward carriers back into the games really
01:19:30important getting some momentum putting it back on the Pumas in this passenger play
01:19:35just seven points then you can start thinking about what's next
01:19:41McDermott bounces out switches play late for Corrine Bethe who finds room and he's in full
01:19:47pace Marika he's in a touch what a try saver that was from Albornoz stunning not many round
01:19:57up Marika at full pace well I don't think I've ever seen it Thomas Albornoz second start in the
01:20:04number 10 jersey he's been great in marshalling his troops but this is effort
01:20:13this is pure effort to stop one of the best wingers in the world
01:20:17oh what a tackle that was hey and what a play we'll talk about the call line I had to make
01:20:23that's a good smart play there with Tate McDermott getting out dragging his defense and bringing
01:20:28Marika Corrobidi back under he is a hard man to stop
01:20:34so good on his own line and now they look to mull it up Cannon fighting through them all
01:20:41trying to get a hand on Stray should die on that one they do
01:20:4813 to go 21 points the difference
01:20:54it takes something special and some but they're in the right end of town the Wallabies
01:20:59to maybe be the next to score do you run the same play moves drop Marika back under again
01:21:04maybe with an option what's the other option drop him under let the back row over track let
01:21:09him over read it maybe hit a Hamish Stewart or a Lenny Katau short on the outside or maybe
01:21:14liner just crowbars it goes himself 21 points in 12 minutes great turnover work from Josh Canham
01:21:22the 16th test debutant of the Joe Schmidt era in 2024 already
01:21:38no space both team no space Lange Gleason on their number six good manly Marlon
01:21:44really looking for him to inject some energy and some ball carry he's an electric
01:21:49fast powerful ball carrier here they're at number six in at number six at the moment
01:21:53packing on the blind side what can he do in the second phase you know the Wallabies probably go
01:21:58direct if not they'll go out wide but if they do go direct look for Lange Gleason to get around
01:22:04the corner in some way shape or form
01:22:17it's a big shove from Argentina but Australia get the penalty and McDermott taps and goes
01:22:23Tate McDermott takes off he runs into one he runs into two gets over Tate McDermott
01:22:29blows through the defense and sneaks one back oh how good was that Tate McDermott why do you put
01:22:38a player like that on with time left on the clock because of those type of plays that he can uh
01:22:44bring into the game fantastic vision and finish as well there is a lot of players
01:22:50in the space there and he manages to find a way the wasp the players call him and he manages to
01:22:55buzz his way through there pretty well done yeah but he had to step the referee not just
01:22:59the Argentinian players well done well done this is important too to keep it a factor of seven
01:23:08line up from 15 in the direction is good so is the distance and it's 41 to 27 those the
01:23:25Wallabies first points since the 30th minute it has been one-way traffic
01:23:31that's what he can do you said it Michael Hooper you said before he came on you said
01:23:38it when he came on he can accelerate the play he can challenge defenders on the side of the rock
01:23:46okay so we're seeing the Argentinians start to slow the pace down let the game run out
01:23:52scoreboard is against Australia here so it's on the Australians to pick up the pace to take
01:23:56their chances maybe to flex their muscle a little bit more here in the last 10 minutes
01:24:01Corrine Bette takes it under pressure as Malia giving chase good work there from Marika
01:24:09throwing better McDermott calling for runners
01:24:12just to shore up the exit here for Lina who's back in the pocket
01:24:22McDermott will do the kicking himself in fact and
01:24:25Corrine Bette looking to give a little back himself it's a hand on career it's Malia
01:24:31a beautifully delivered popple there Canem got over and almost got the steal
01:24:36oh now Canem unluckily really unlucky in the end was prone on the floor he gets pinged for being
01:24:44offside so it's penalty vantage here for Argentina
01:24:49super hands across the line
01:24:53Grondona
01:25:00Garcia
01:25:05sends a wild pass out to the right where Sinti was waiting slick hands now for Malia Tri
01:25:14Argentina and that'll be that
01:25:22oh they're just having fun now
01:25:32the ball's doing the work they're working hard off it to get involved
01:25:39nice little move he puts on Marika Corrine Bette here
01:25:45oh they've been brilliant in the back half of this game
01:25:53they have been absolutely brilliant balls that is a really great piece of play and if there's any
01:25:58glimmer of hope for the Wallabies the Argentinians have just put that to bed they're now pushing out
01:26:03the score too far the Argentinians ability to get onside to get onto the assist the attacking player
01:26:13there in kicks has been really fantastic they're creating the extra numbers down there down the
01:26:18tram tracks when there's been kicks put through rather than just retreating to the open they've
01:26:24gone blind they've gone down the trams and they finished very well
01:26:32I've been here and watched this movie previously Morgz Australia's
01:26:38last venture to Argentina they won the opening game and a week later Argentina just went
01:26:43wallop hoops I think you mentioned they are one of those teams that can have a hot 10 minutes
01:26:48with about a hot 40 minutes where everything was well done well executed with intent and emotion
01:26:56oh my god that hit
01:27:13Garcia under pressure she's got acrobatic in behind Kelleway beautifully done
01:27:22under the towering up and under slipper and again he equals George Greig and the Wallabies
01:27:29legend is the most capped ever to represent the Wallabies
01:27:33Wallabies lead at half time it was 20 points to 17
01:27:55in they led 20 to 3 at one stage before Argentina caught fire
01:28:12the passage of play spoke volumes of this second half of course the rugby championship continues
01:28:18so many more games to play the Pumas themselves get a couple up against South Africa the Wallabies
01:28:24back to Australia to regroup in a fortnight for a blood as low in Sydney but the Wallabies
01:28:31they're putting four or five players into the breakdown once the turnover came they're under
01:28:36pressure everywhere hoops Gleason fighting for every centimeter Jorgensen was well read by
01:28:48Jorgensen and now they blow through the breakdown
01:28:53and it's fastball
01:28:58for Argentina we're looking for their second rugby championship wing
01:29:02plenty of numbers down that right hand side now and they will score
01:29:07again and it's Malia again for Argentina
01:29:10what a place to be if you're an Argentinian supporter hey they've absolutely come alive
01:29:20in this last 50 minutes of the game everything's sticking they're finding
01:29:25space all over the Wallabies across the park
01:29:31oh they just look like they've got more players on the field at the moment
01:29:34what I do have is I've got more players on the field on their feet and influencing the game
01:29:41the brilliance is the simplicity they've hit hard without the ball
01:29:44they've hit hard with the ball and then look at it nice and square catch pass
01:29:52letting the ball do the work numbers around the ball when you win contacts
01:29:57you work hard off the ball it's a simple game even at test match level
01:30:01and the conversion is through and they have 53 to their name
01:30:20as we go all the way back if we go all the way back it was a little knock on from Australia
01:30:27three minutes into the second half and they have been under the pump ever since
01:30:33at that stage they still led
01:30:39Los Pumas have punished the visitors and they want more
01:30:44look Carreras
01:30:49Garcia Gonzalez pass is sticking looking silky as well here from Argentina
01:31:00looking for 16 wow
01:31:04Oviedo
01:31:14they are going berserk in Santa Fe
01:31:25it's not a test match it's a fiesta now it's party time in Santa Fe look at the numbers
01:31:32it had to come somewhere they still kept their shape with players moving out the back
01:31:36to create change and the wallabies are chasing individually it's 15 men on attack against 15
01:31:42individuals trying to tackle and a test match rugby that's not enough a test match rugby this
01:31:49is the best play we're seeing at the moment when you're getting back swinging from blind
01:31:55sides creating that out more numbers than the defense has to offer the Argentinians have done
01:32:02it so well they've picked it up on the blind side they've picked it up on the open side when they've
01:32:05been flowing but there just seems to be so many men on the field who want to get their hands on
01:32:10the ball and then just a lovely finish here by Oviedo to get over the dry line
01:32:18it's just so nice when you have days like this when it just works
01:32:22it's just all working for the Argentinians at the moment
01:32:24I'm scratching my head and we'll need confirmation from stats guru Kalo but
01:32:30when was the last time we copped 60 as wallabies fans
01:32:34you are fine you're fine
01:32:50she's going through the numbers right now it won't make for good listing
01:32:57if you are a wallabies fan and I'm sorry to say there might be one more to come here for
01:33:02Argentina the way they're going
01:33:04yes
01:33:29picked off initially by Canavan then it falls for Argentina
01:33:33one to go
01:33:36Sinti gets it away Carreras now Carreras Garcini lose that it's out to touch anyway
01:33:51what have we got penalty Argentina
01:33:54I think Callaway just jumping the gun down there on the blind side
01:34:11the Argentinians asking for a penalty try they think it was a drive
01:34:15Callaway had not been in an offside position
01:34:24it's a theme again isn't it hoops Argentinian outside backs moving hard off the ball hoops
01:34:35it's just been irrepressible
01:34:43Argentina looking
01:34:47to finish with another and run up a record score all time
01:34:52Australia begin to cop one late and Argentina make it a record score
01:35:08it's the most Australia have ever considered in a test match if the try stands
01:35:21went on the ground first and then he picked up the ball
01:35:26it looked clean to me Mauds it looked like it was well picked up off his feet
01:35:33well it's Sinti's fingertip control off the ground
01:35:40that could save the wallabies from their worst defeat what a complete performance here by
01:35:46Argentina from that 35 minute mark around that period of they've been pretty flawless
01:35:56well the previous
01:35:59heaviest loss that the wallabies had in duel was against
01:36:04South Africa way back in 97 or 61 22 that night in Loftus if this try stands and the conversion's
01:36:12good it'll make it 67 27 and history's about to be made for all the wrong reasons if you're
01:36:21a wallabies fan
01:36:36it looks clean we've got to remember this Argentinian team
01:36:40made it to the semi-final of the world cup last year they beat New Zealand in New Zealand
01:36:46this year which is very very hard to do in fact i never got it done as part of a wallaby team
01:36:54so this is a serious outfit they're facing here today the wallabies haven't been able to
01:36:59answer the call in this at least since that 35 minute mark as we mentioned
01:37:04some days when you're hot you're hot
01:37:06so here you take the ball now use right you can confirm
01:37:12up here yeah so your on-field decision is a try yeah and the image in your head supports your version you may want to try
01:37:24so you have no evidence to return the decision no if your on-field decision is a try
01:37:32is a try i don't have any other facts to disprove your version okay we stick with on-field decision
01:37:43so no evidence to return the on-field decision
01:37:51when you're hot you are hot and Argentina have been just that since the 31st minute
01:38:01and they now have the chance to land the conversion
01:38:06to make it not only the most points the wallabies have conceded in the test match
01:38:12but the heaviest loss in the history of the wallabies
01:38:21it's Carreras who'll line up the shot
01:38:31so
01:38:47sneaks it in and it's 67 27 at the close it's a record loss for Australia
01:38:59we have never seen numbers like them and they are all in favor of Los Pumas
01:39:11and Argentina the response is emphatic beaten last week at the death by these same wallabies
01:39:20they've come to Santa Fe they've celebrated and marked
