Les Kiss has hailed the resilience of the Wallabies after they survived a nervy battle with Argentina to stretch their win streak to three under their new coach.
Playing in the mountain town of San Salvador de Jujuy, the Australians scored four tries to two to earn a gritty 27-21 victory in the first of two Tests in Argentina.
After opening his Test coaching tenure with successive victories over Japan, the clash with the world No.7 Pumas at altitude was the first big trial for Kiss's men.
