The match will give Australia a chance to end their Rugby Championship campaign on a winning note, and bounce back from last week’s disappointing defeat against the Springboks at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.
The match will not be played on the home soil of either nation, instead, it will take place at Twickenham in London, on neutral ground – though Argentina are techincally considered the ‘home’ team in the fixture.
Australia are considered the favourites going into the match, having defeated Argentina at home several weeks ago. They’re priced at $1.28 with betting markets to get the win, while Argentina are out to $3.75.
While New Zealand already have this year’s Rugby Championship title wrapped up, a win would give the Wallabies the chance to go into the final Bledisloe Cup match and their tour of Europe to follow in a winning mood.

Argentina really lack composure and their defence is terrible.

Wallabies attack and defence looks capable but mistake rate is the problem

The Wallabies always out-think them ...

Australia are Argentina's bogey team. The Pumas do not bring the same energy and physical aggression in games against Wallabies as they do the ABs ...

It's the Pumas home game so it is their choice to hold it in London, so it is nothing to do with the state of the game in Australia. The ARU cannot be blamed for that.

It really is a great idea to play at Twickenham. They will get a much better crowd and both teams will get much more money than they would in either Australia or Argentina. After all that's what the game is about these days isn't it....... Doesn't really matter if the game is going downhill fast in Australia.
