LIVE: Wallabies, Pumas looking for bounce-back wins

32′ 8-3 Try – Reece Hodge , Australia 31′ Try time Australia! The Wallabies are in through Reece Hodge who finishes off a nice set-play and break from Marika Koroibete. 29′ Scrum Australia. A nice box-kick from Will Genia is shelled by Sanchez at the back, but Folau Fainga’a makes the wrong decision to kick the loose ball and it goes into touch. Fortunately for the Wallabies, advantage wasn’t served and we’ll come back for the scrum. 28′ Penalty Argentina. Tevita Kuridrani is penalised for an obstruction on the kick. Nicolas Sanchez goes quickly from the tap, but the visitors soon turn the ball over and Will Genia clears down field. 26′ Try bombed! Argentina go within a whisker of scoring the game’s first try after a series of smart popped passes sets Matias Moroni downfield from the kick-off. But the play breaks down as the scrambling Wallabies defence gets back just in time, the Pumas coughing up possession right in front of the sticks. 24′ Sanchez makes no mistake with his first penalty of the night, and we’re locked up at 3-3 in Brisbane. 24′ 3-3 Penalty goal – Nicolas Sanchez , Argentina 23′ Penalty Argentina. Dumb play from Sekope Kepu there as he tries an offload which doesn’t go to hand, but then compounds that error by playing the loose ball while on the ground. Michael Hooper had earlier affected a breakdown steal, but Nicolas Sanchez will now have the chance to level the scores. 22′ Penalty Australia. The Wallabies forwards will enjoy that as they get a penalty with a strong drive at scrum time. Australia kick down to halfway but then can’t win their own lineout. 20′ Scrum Australia. Both teams are certainly having trouble with their handling as the Pumas spill one this time. the visitors had worked a nice set-play back inside from the scrum beforehand, before Ramiro Moyano coughed up possession in contact. 18′ An incredible sequence of play comes to an end with a thumping hit from Matias Moroni on Reece Hodge. But the Wallabies almost had the first try of the night a moment of two earlier as a bouncing ball sat up for Samu Kerevi after his own kick ricocheted off the Pumas fullback, Kerevi’s pass too low for Tevita Kuridrani to handle however which then almost set the Pumas onto the counter. This is certainly a willing contest. 16′ The Wallabies are just lacking that vital bit of accuracy in the contact as they are pulled up for a collapsed maul. Isi Naisarani had done well to scoop up a poor pass and power over the advantage line, but the No. 8 went a step of two too far and the Pumas were able to hold him up off the deck. The Pumas will have a scrum feed just inside their own half. 13′ Scrum Argentina. A brilliant ball from Will Genia puts Izack Rodda into a hole and onto a gallop in behind the Pumas, but the play amounts to nothing as the Wallabies fail to punish a retreating Pumas defence. They then compound that by shelling a simple pass, Rodda going from hero to villain with a simple dropped ball. 11′ It’s over! The Wallabies leading 3-0 which is probably fair reward for the possession and territory they’ve enjoyed so far. 11′ 3-0 Penalty goal – Christian Lealiifano , Australia 9′ Penalty Australia. The Wallabies will have the first crack at points tonight as a Pumas player is pinged for hands in the ruck after he was warned by O’Keeffe. Christian Leali’ifano will line up the shot from just to the left of the posts, about 37 metres out. 8′ After a Pumas kick drifts too long, they fail to deal with the 22 restart which gives the Wallabies a scrum on their own 10. The hosts will want to start putting more men into the breakdown as they are being beaten at that contest so far. 6′ Penalty Argentina! The Pumas go quickly from the decision from Ben O’Keeffe after another promising Australian build-up; this time it’s skipper Pablo Matera who earns the reward. The visitors are forced into touch downfield, though, before the Wallabies again cough up possession from the lineout. 3′ Penalty Argentina. A promising Wallabies sequence comes to and end as the Pumas win a penalty for holding on. The Wallabies had looked good on attack just before, though, with Samu Kerevi making a half-break and managing an offload to Kurtley Beale. 2′ Scrum Australia. A little knock-on at the back of the ruck from Tomas Cubelli isn’t the start the visitors were after, the Wallabies to have their first set-piece attacking opportunity from right on their own 10. 1′ Ben O’Keefe gets us underway on a perfect night in Brisbane, Nicolas Sanchez kicking off down inside the Wallabies’ 22. Will Genia clears to touch two phases later, the scrum-half playing what is likely his final Test at Suncorp Stadium. 1′ That’s the anthems and Welcome to Country done, we’re all set for kick-off in what looks to be about a half-full Suncorp Stadium. 1′

1′ We’re set for the anthems here at Suncorp Stadium, not long to kick-off now. 1′ Hello and welcome to our live commentary of the Wallabies’ Test with the Pumas in Brisbane. Both teams are coming off first-off defeats in the Rugby Championship, but it is Argentina who would be feeling much better about their game. Can the Wallabies bounce back from last week’s loss in South Africa? They’ll have to, particularly given they have back-to-back Bledisloe Cup games to come! 1′ 0-0 Start of first half
