The Wallabies will host Argentina in their fourth match of the Rugby Championship. The game will be played at GIO Stadium in Canberra on Saturday, Septemeber 16 with the kick-off at 8pm (AEST).

Australia sits just three points ahead of last-placed Argentina on the Rugby Championship ladder after drawing with South Africa in Perth. They lost their first two games against New Zealand and were unable to capitalise on a ten-point lead in the second half.

Now, Michael Cheika and the Wallabies will look for a strong performance against Argentina and hope to get their first win of the competition.

To nearly everyone’s surprise, Argentina went to half time with a small lead over the All Blacks. It was a determined a rugged effort, however, they were unable to hold off New Zealand’s clinical and unrelenting attack, losing by 17 points.

The Argentinians have now lost all three of their Rugby Championship games and sit in last place. However, their confidence will be high after their gallant performance against the All Blacks in New Zealand and they will be confident of winning the match against the Wallabies.
