Rugby Championship 2022

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 ...

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. Argentina had a second after just six minutes to leave the Wallabies shell-shocked. 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. “We gave them a few soft points early on, fought our way back into it. 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. 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 Springboks take on the All Blacks in Johannesburg with the visitors' head coach Ian Foster under immense pressure after last week's 26-10 beatdown.

72 mins: South Africa kicked for touch and then Hendrikse looked for further ground with the box kick. “It confirms the belief we have in each other. It was a massive challenge coming here and the group turned up massively.

There were extenuating circumstances but the Wallabies have serious issues to address after their thumping loss to Argentina.

15. Jordie Barrett (New Zealand) 5. Scott Barrett (New Zealand) 4. Sam Whitelock (New Zealand) The All Blacks scored two superb tries in the 35-23 win over South Africa and rediscovered their edge up front. It was unrealistic to expect James O’Connor to be anything but a bit clunky at No 10, but you can bet that the Wallabies will track Quade Cooper’s rehabilitation extremely closely. However, the Boks have a ‘point of difference’ player in Lukhanyo Am, who must be the best centre in world rugby.

And with Dragons scrum-half Gonzalo Bertranou returning to the 23 as a starter for Saturday's 2nd Test, it's clear Los Pumas are out for revenge in San Juan.

What a win for the Pumas. Thanks to that thrashing of the the Wallabies they are now top of the Rugby Championship. Australia were tactically outplayed and ...

The Australia defence is at sixes and sevens at the moment. Much better from the Australians. They're in the hosts' half keeping the ball alive, popping it left and right. From there the Pumas keep the ball alive moving it from right to left BUT then they give a penalty away for 'foul play'. Great move off the back of a lineout from Australia as Rob Valetini picks up the ball at pace, charging into the Pumas' 22 before passing to Petaia who goes over the line but cannot ground the ball. The ball is in the Australia half which suits the Pumas just fine. The Pumas kick over the top and O'Connor collects in the corner, but the No 10 is isolated and outnumbered and the hosts turn the ball over. It's the Pumas put in now and the Wallabies will be annoyed with themselves as the hosts kick away any danger. Boffelli kicks the extras and it's been a great, great win for the Pumas. Argentina kicked the ball 15 times in all in the first match between the teams last weekend which Australia won 41-26. The chalking off of that try seemed to blunt the Wallabies' rally and Argentina surged further ahead when De la Fuente scored in the 24th minute. Winger Emiliano Boffelli appeared to score soon afterwards, again winning a contest for the ball in the air. Slipper picked up the ball when it appeared quickly at the base of the ruck and drove over for only his second try in 119 Tests.

Los Pumas sprang out of the traps to lead 19-10 at the interval, only for the Wallabies to rally brilliantly in the absence of skipper Michael Hooper and run ...

It took five minutes for Pablo Matera to go over, after a slick interchange with Santiago Carreras. Juan Martin Gonzalez's effort was without doubt the try of the opening weekend. Folau Fainga'a joins Cooper on the physio table, which means Lachlan Lonergan starts in a Test for the first time. If this second clash between Argentina and Australia is anything like the first, we're in for another cracker. Cheika has made four changes to the Argentina lineup, with wing Juan Imhoff, center Matias Moroni, loosehead prop Thomas Gallo, and scrum-half Gonzalo Bertranou coming into the team.

We've got the South Africans twice at home now and we're looking forward to that back playing in front of our fans." "I think every team (in the Rugby Championship) has won one now. "It's a massive disappointment. Full credit goes to them, they were tough. They got the momentum behind the crowd and they were a tough team to play catch-up footy against. Certainly got dominated in the collision area.

This is an absolute absurdity." "You can't flip him over in a ruck. "Matera has gone there, he's got him around the shoulders, it's Matera's fault that he's got himself in that position.

The All Blacks fell behind after a beautifully worked Arendse try inside 10 minutes, and never really threatened to overturn the Springboks' lead. Having pulled up lame in training, Bongi Mbonambi is a late withdrawal from the South African ranks, with hooker Joseph Dweba stepping in. The All Blacks head coach and, by extension skipper Sam Kane, were granted the two Rugby Championship clashes with South Africa to save their jobs.

"Off the back of a good performance last weekend we really wanted to back it up. Denial of the try blunted the Wallabies' rally and Argentina surged further ahead when de la Fuente scored in the 24th minute. Winger Emiliano Boffelli appeared to score soon afterwards, again winning a contest for the ball in the air. Slipper picked up the ball when it appeared quickly at the base of the ruck and drove over for only his second try in 119 tests. The Wallabies rallied with a try to captain James Slipper in the 12th minute. Argentina kicked the ball 15 times in all of the first match between the teams last weekend which Australia won 41-26.

Former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika admits he had very mixed emotions in seeing his new team thump his old team.

But I am looking forward to going to New Zealand because it is a great place to go and play rugby.” “I was up on the last try, cheering. But taking the Pumas there will be a different experience for Cheika, and given the internal drama of New Zealand rugby, he may even fly entirely under the radar. You have to focus on the situation ahead of you, not the past, whether it be the first half or four years ago.” One of Cheika’s most famous moments as Wallabies coach was in Salta in 2018 when Argentina raced away to a 28-0 lead at half-time. But the former Wallabies coach then had a flash of sadness, too.
