The Wallabies have secured a historic first series victory on Argentine soil following a hard-fought 28-28 draw against Los Pumas in Mendoza. This result extends the unbeaten streak of new coach Les Kiss to four Tests.
The match was a torrid arm wrestle, with both teams struggling with errors in swirling winds. Australia initially took a 14-0 lead with tries from captain Harry Wilson and Max Jorgensen, demonstrating a strong first half. However, Argentina fought back before halftime.
In the second half, Argentina took the lead through captain Pablo Matera's second try after sustained pressure. The Wallabies responded late in the game, earning a crucial penalty try from a lineout infringement to level the scores and secure the series win.
Despite the series triumph, the Wallabies will reflect on missed opportunities, including squandering early advantages. They will now prepare for a Test against the Springboks in Perth.
