Opta Facts
Argentina have lost each of their last nine Tests against the Wallabies, though four of the five Rugby Championship clashes between the sides have seen the Pumas pick up a losing bonus point.
Michael Hooper scored two tries against the Pumas in their recent meeting on the Gold Coast. The Wallabies captain has seven tries in his last 11 Tests after failing to score in his first 25 appearances for his country.
Despite making 33 fewer carries and having just 42% of possession in the first clash between the nations this season, the Pumas still managed eight clean breaks to the hosts’ nine.
Argentina have played two Tests at this venue, losing 17-22 to South Africa last year and also playing out a 16-16 draw against the same opposition a year before, their only non-defeat in this tournament.
Israel Folau has four tries in three appearances against Argentina, only David Campese (9) and Chris Latham (5) have scored more for the Wallabies against the South American side.
Argentina have failed to score a try in four of 17 Rugby Championship Tests, but never against Australia.
However, the Wallabies have scored at least one try in 21 of 22 meetings with Argentina, including 14 in five meetings in this tournament.
Australia have the lowest lineout (79%) and scrum (76%) success rates in the tournament thus far.
Argentina have won nine penalties or free-kicks from opposition scrums in this tournament, more than twice as many as any other nation.
Argentina have conceded only one more point (140) than Australia (139) in the tournament so far.
