Summary

Thank you all for joining me today for another grandstand finish in what is becoming a habit for the Wallabies. This time it was Argentina who prevailed at the death, and you can read more about how they did so here, with Angus Fontaine’s match report. Stay tuned for more during the week, and feel free to join me back here in a fortnight when Australia take on the All Blacks at Eden Park.

Both teams now have a week off before The Rugby Championship reaches its conclusion.

The Wallabies take on the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup double-header, first at the Eden Park graveyard, then in Perth. The Pumas travel to Durban to challenge South Africa, then they face the Springboks at the unlikely destination of Twickenham.

If New Zealand beat South Africa this evening in Wellington they will be strong favourites to win the competition. But if the Springboks force an upset all four teams will enter the final pair of matches with two wins and two losses apiece.
