The Wallabies, under new coach Les Kiss, secured their third consecutive win, marking their first four-game winning streak in a calendar year since 2021. Australia scored early, with hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa crossing the try line to give his side an early lead. Fly-half Carter Gordon added another try shortly after. Despite Argentina's strong response and a yellow card for Wallabies winger Harry Potter, Australia maintained their lead. Veteran flanker Tom Hooper added to the score with a try after the break. Despite a late Puma push, Australia held on to secure the victory. The match is the first of a two-Test series in Argentina, with the Rugby Championship suspended for New Zealand's tour of South Africa.",
