Australia's coach, Joe Schmidt, is urging his Wallabies to sharpen their preparations for Saturday's crucial Rugby Championship rematch against Argentina, emphasizing the necessity to prevent a sluggish start like in their previous match.

Schmidt's team narrowly triumphed 28-24 over Los Pumas in Townsville, a result that the New Zealand coach feels does not reflect the South Americans' tenacity and competitive nature.

With uncertainty over Tom Lynagh's availability due to head injury assessments, Schmidt insists the Wallabies must minimize errors and focus on strong first-half performance to secure victory in Sydney.
