Wallabies conceded their highest ever Test score.
ARGENTINA, TRAILING BY 14 points after 30 minutes, hit back with nine tries to beat Australia 67-27 in Santa Fe in the Rugby Championship on Saturday.
With South Africa beating New Zealand earlier in the day, Argentina must now beat the world champion Springboks in their final two games , one at home and one away, to have a hope of winning the Rugby Championship for the first time. Veteran prop James Slipper came on for his 139th cap, equalling George Gregan’s Wallaby record, but after that all the records were grim for the Wallabies.
After Joaquin Oviedo touched down, Tate McDermott hit back for the Wallabies on 69 minutes at which point Australia capitulated.
