Wallabies smashed by Michael Cheika’s Argentina, scores, result, highlights & More Latest News Here – Up Jobs

The Wallabies will return home with their tails between their legs after letting slip a golden opportunity in Argentina.

Not for the first time the Wallabies were slow out of the blocks and, with a number of big names sidelined, Dave Rennie’s side were unable to finish strongly as Michael Cheika’s Los Pumas scored two late tries to seal a massive 48-17 bonus point win in San Juan.

The 31-point loss was the Wallabies’ heaviest against Argentina, surpassing the 15 point margin in 1983.

“Massive disappointment. It’s not good enough,” Rennie said.

“We conceded four tries with kicks in behind us and certainly got dominated in the collision area and created plenty of opportunities but we’ve got to be patient. A ruck’s not a disaster; just not clinical enough.

“We certainly want to earn the respect of the country and you don’t do it with performances like that.”

The Wallabies will feel aggrieved.

Rennie’s side felt like they should have taken the lead midway through the first half when James O’Connor touched down, but referee Karl Dickson instead sought the assistance of his TMO and it was deemed James Slipper had illegally cleaned his opponent out.

Former All Blacks star Andrew Mehrtens deemed the decision “ridiculous”, and what could have seen the Wallabies go ahead 17-14 saw them trail 10-26 at half-time after two tries in seven minutes saw the home side open up a big lead at half-time.

Needing to be the first to score in the second half, Tom Wright was penalised for not releasing and Emiliano Boffelli stepped up to bang over a critical penalty and extend the lead out to 29-10.

And when prop Thomas Gallo crashed over for his second try in the 63rd minute the game was as good as over.

While Len Ikitau hit back after 66 minutes, but two late tries saw the home side pull away and punish the Wallabies for their mistakes to grab a bonus point and move to the top of The Rugby Championship standings.

The Wallabies were tactically outplayed, with their back three exposed by Argentina’s shrewd kicking game where they put boot to ball on 28 occasions.

In particular Wright — playing his second Test at fullback — was exposed in the air and with his decision making.

The Wallabies were beaten at the set-piece, with their scrum struggling at times and although their attack looked threatening their lack of discipline also hurt.

Rob Valetini was one of the Wallabies’ best, with the back-rower continually getting over the gain line.

O’Connor, meanwhile, had a frustrating return after he was denied a try.

The playmaker didn’t get nearly as much ball in his hands as he would have liked and Rennie has a decision to make regarding his playmakers. But, having turned to Noah Lolesio following Quade Cooper’s injury for the series against England in July, it appears he has muddied the waters by turning away from the youngster.

The loss heaps more pressure on Rennie, with the Wallabies coach losing men on and off the field and struggling to oversee victories.

“We had a good enough side on the paddock to do the job,” Rennie said.

“We gave them a few soft points early on, fought our way back into it. We’ve got to be better and while we’ll get a few guys back, whoever puts the jersey on has to front and we weren’t good enough.”

Slipper described the loss as “disappointing” and a step backwards after a “difficult” tour where they lost their captain Michael Hooper (personal health) and Quade Cooper (ACL).

Nor are they likely to have Hooper back when they take on the Springboks in a fortnight at Adelaide Oval.

In a boost for Rennie’s side, outside back Andrew Kellaway, props Angus Bell and Scott Sio and hookers Dave Porecki and Folau Fainga’a should be fit for the Test.

Rennie’s side conceded a try after just 60 seconds as Jordan Petaia passed a ball too hot to handle for his back three teammate Wright and the home side ran away to score.

Argentina had a second after just six minutes to leave the Wallabies shell-shocked. But the stunned Wallabies rallied, finally getting their hands on the ball after some Fraser McReight brilliance at the breakdown won the visitors some ball.

From a lineout soon after Valetini charged over the gain line and captain Slipper hit back to score.

Three points from the kicking tee saw the Wallabies close to within four points.

The Wallabies looked like they would go ahead through O’Connor, but the overturned try proved decisive.

Tries Jeronimo de la Fuente and Juan Martin Gonzalez have the home side a comfortable lead.

The Wallabies had some luck of their own when Boffelli was denied a try after the TMO Marius van der Westhuizen found no reason to overturn the initial no try ruling by Dickson. Boffelli’s lost ball came after some brilliance from Marika Koroibete in defence.

Mehrtens, however, disagreed, saying “I’m struggling to understand how the ball touching the ground is not compelling evidence”.

After a quieter start to the second half, at least from a points perspective, Wright’s inexperience at fullback was exposed again in the 52nd minute as the Brumbies back opted to run the ball back from rather than kick. It left him isolated as the Pumas got on the ball to win a penalty, which allowed Boffelli to add another three points from the kicking tee to see the home take a 29-10 advantage.

Ikitau hit back for the visitors, but two tries in the final five minutes of the Test saw the home side seal a convincing victory.
