Rugby Championship 2018: Wallabies vs Argentina live

Loading

TRY TIMEEEE!!!

11: And what a try it is! The Wallabies go to a back-line move and find a flying Dane Haylet-Petty out the back. He commits defenders, flicks a pass to Reece Hodge and then he finds Will Genia on the inside. Genia dashes 20-odd metres and it's game on. What a start! Matt Toomua converts.

WALLABIES 7 lead PUMAS 0

Scrum time penalty

10: Surprise! It's the Pumas who are hit with a penalty at scrum time. That won't please coach Mario Ledesma, who is the Wallabies' former scrum mentor.

Bugger

7: The Wallabies get the ball back from the kick-off, but then giveaway a penalty for "truck and trailer" at the maul. So the Pumas are now back in control.

Boooooooom!

5: And how easy did he do that?!?! Bofelli slams it from 51m and it sails through with ease! The Pumas have an early lead.

Lineout tactics

3: The Wallabies use the much-hated stand-off tactic at the first lineout, but compete at the second one. Some exciting play down the touchline from inside their own half, but Pocock passed to Koroibete when he was already out. Penalty to Argentina against Pocock at the ruck. They're going to take a long-range shot from 51m!

Folau in the game early

1: Bit of aerial ping-pong to start. Folau leaps high to get an early touch. Expert commentary from the back of the room loving Kurtley Beale's mullet. "His play tonight is like his hair. Business in the front, party in the back."

Here we go!

Kick-off: Not a great crowd at all to be honest. Rugby shouldn't be on the GC. Pumas kick-off straight to David Pocock and we're underway!

Hard to tell if it was the Gold Coast humidity, or tears in that one.

Anthems on the way

Wallabies have a moment of silence to remember those Test players who have passed away recently. Now the acknowledgement of country.

Is the pressure still on Cheika?

Yes, the Wallabies beat South Africa last week. But is Michael Cheika still feeling the heat as Wallabies coach? A loss tonight will see it amplified again.
