The story of the game was written on the faces of the Wales players as they weaved their way through the Principality Stadium’s narrow corridors near the home dressing room an hour or so after the game. Smiles were to the fore.
Smiles of relief, maybe, after a win which partially erased memories of the heavy defeat at the hands of New Zealand a week earlier — or simply expressions of satisfaction after a gutsy effort brought about a 20-13 victory over a dangerous Argentina side who had beaten England at Twickenham the weekend before? A bit of both, perhaps.
The match was not a classic, but Wales did enough, led by their outstanding back-row duo of Taulupe Faletau and Justin Tipuric, with replacement Jac Morgan complementing the pair perfectly off the bench.
