In an intense Rugby Championship clash, Argentina's flyhalf Santiago Carreras proved instrumental, racking up 23 points to guide the Pumas to a hard-fought 28-26 victory over Australia in Sydney.
While many anticipated a high-scoring encounter in the Sydney Football Stadium sunshine, it was Carreras' exceptional kicking that made the difference, alongside a single try from captain Julian Montoya.
Despite mounting a late comeback with two tries by Filipo Daugunu and one from Andrew Kellaway, the Wallabies fell short as Argentina held firm, overturning last week's defeat in Townsville with a resilient defensive stand.
