It’s half time
The Australian scrum is doing well and Quade Cooper sends the ball into touch to return to the locker room. 10-10 at the break between the two teams, Australia lacks the ball and discipline, Argentina lacks realism and concretization in its opportunities.
12:43
The Argentinians push on the siren (40th) 10-10
The Pulas largely dominate the end of the first period and once again push Australia to the fault in front of its own line. They call for the melee.
12:42
Yellow card for Toulouse’s Richie Arnold (39th) 10-10
Australia will finish the first period at 14 and start the second still outnumbered. Arnold wanted to illegally stop the progress of the Pumas one meter from the line by defending on the ground without having released the tackler and without having repositioned himself on his supports.
12:39
Concern for Ikitau (34th) 10-10
The Australian center came out early, replaced by Carter Gordon. On the bench he is holding his left shoulder with an ice pack on it. We take no risk for Eddie Jones in view of the world.
12:36
Argentinian domination against Australian efficiency (33rd) 10-10
Ten everywhere on the scoreboard, yet Argentina spent more than 25 minutes in the Australian camp against a few seconds on the side of the Wallabies who were more realistic.
12:32
Saving defense of Isgro Alastra (30th) 10-10
Australian hopeful Carter Gordon, author of a superb try at the end of the game against the Springboks last week, went alone to try on the sidelines but had to face the very good defensive return of Argentine winger Rodrigo Isgro Alastra which propels him into touch.
12:26
Try for the Pumas (25th) 10-8
Skelton makes a mistake in an Argentinian group. Carreras goes into touch and allows the forwards to pound past the Australian line after the throw.
The ball is then ejected in the closed side on the Perpignanese Jeronimo de la Fuente who relaxes in goal to offer the first try of the meeting to the Argentine selection and thus rewarded their domination. Boffelli transforms and puts the two teams in a tie.
12:22
Boffelli opens the Argentinian counter (20th) 10-3
The Argentinians are slightly rewarded for their domination by a penalty against the posts in the 22m after an Australian foul by a player who did not come out of the ruck.
12:19
Intentions but waste in the Argentinian game (17th) 10-0
The Pumas deploy the game show intentions but struggle to conclude and to be sharp. They come up against a well organized Australian defense despite wide possession of the ball and territorial dominance.
12:16
Penalty passed by Quade Cooper (12th) 10-0
The Australian opener took advantage of the errors of the Argentine defense at the start of the game to pass three more points at 30 meters, slightly to the right and give the Wallabies a ten-point lead.
12:08
Australia try (6th) 7-0
Winger Nawaqanitawase takes the hole and enters the Argentinian 22m, the game starts quickly on the left wing after a skipped pass at the limit of the front of Quade Cooper for Kerevi. The latter put inside for Ikitau and the Australian center left to flatten in a corner. Mr. Peyper validated this test after viewing the video. Ikitau manages to flatten just enough before putting the elbow out of bounds.
12:02
Good start to the Pumas match, Boffelli finds the post (3rd) 0-0
Santiago Carreras triggers a first game with a skimming foot on his winger Mateo Carreras who in the duel with Tom Wright cannot flatten once in goal. After an Australian foul, Emiliano Boffelli misses his first attempt and finds the post.
11:59
Let’s go
South African referee Jaco Peyper kicks off the match live from Sydney.
11:58
Australia winner of the rugby championship four times
Like South Africa, Australia have won the competition four times, while Argentina have only been part of the tournament since 2012.
Last year, it was the Wallabies who finished 3rd behind South Africa (2nd) and New Zealand (1st).
11:50
Both teams must react for probably 3rd place
It is the 3rd place which should be played in this meeting, while New Zealand beat South Africa 35-20 earlier in the morning.
Australia remains on a defeat in South Africa last week (43-12) like the Argentina of Michael Cheika who suffered a heavy defeat (41-12) against the All Blacks.
11:47
The composition of the Argentine Pumas
The Argentinians present themselves with some well-known players from the Top 14. Like the right pillar Francisco Gomez Kodela (LOU) or Jeronimo de la Fuente (USAP) in the center or the former Stade Français Pablo Matera in the third row.
11:42
The composition of Australia
Eddie Jones operates with some changes compared to the team which took on water in South Africa, with the presence of Toulouse’s Richie Arnold in the second row alongside Will Skelton (La Rochelle).
11:40
