That’s it from me. Well done Wallabies and happy father’s day to all the dads in Australia. Hopefully a first win in nine Rugby Championship matches for the Wallabies will serve as a tasty gift for you.

It wasn’t pretty, and perhaps they got a bit lucky that Argentina took their eye off the ball towards the end. But a win on the road is a mighty feather in the cap of this developing team.

I’ll catch you next week, but here’s Angus Fontaine’s match report in the meantime:

That’s an eight-game losing streak in the Rugby Championship that’s just come to an end.

One to savour, that’s for sure!

There’ll be some controversy around this one. Referee Doleman said there would be a restart after Donaldson’s penalty but then seemed to change his mind. The Pumas players weren’t happy, as you’d expect. Keep an ear out for any grumblings from Argentina in the week.

Unreal performance from Australia. They were 10 points down and barely looked like winning the thing for most of the game. But they kept their patience – a true hallmark of a Joe Schmidt team – and were rewarded.

Argentina will be kicking themselves. They should have had this sewn up but massive credit to the men in gold. This is a mighty, mighty win on the road.

79 min: Gleeson carries well and they’re five metres out. No sign of the drop goal yet. But they win a penalty! This will be the game. Vivas gives away the penalty and Donaldson will have the simplest task to nudge over the winner.

78 min: Australia have the line-out on Argentina’s 22. They go to the back of the line-out and then set a maul. They’re trying to win a penalty. Nothing doing so they crash it through the middle. Still they have it. Will they set a dop-goal? No, they keep hammering the line with Frost carrying big.

77 min: Matera picks up at the back of the scrum and carries into contact. Bazan Belez is taking his time to box kick. Koreoibete can’t hold on so Argentina can attack. But the ball is spilled and Australia have an overlap. They just need to give it hands. Jorgensen is clear but he can’t hold on and is tackled and spills the ball as he takes the hit. That was turnover ball that could have ended in an Australian try if only they were more accurate.

76 min: McDermott hoists a high box which is brilliantly fielded by Albornoz. Then Bazan Velez box kicks himself. Loloseio gets up to catch but knocks on and takes a knock himself. Scrum to Australia. That Albornoz catch might be the difference maker here.

75 min: Scrum penalty for Australia. Argentina’s front row collapses so Lolesio hoofs it out towards half-way. Not a lot of distance. Still 10 metres inside his own half. But they have the line-out.

74 min: The scrum is taking a while to set. In fact they have to reset. This won’t do Australia any good. They’re camped inside their own 22.

73 min: Creevy enters the field for the last time as a Test player. It’s his 110th appearance at 39-years-old. He’s his country’s most-capped player. Wouldn’t it be a story if he manages to score the decisive try?

71 min: Two consecutive takes under the high ball has Argentina on the front foot. Another high kick is well held by Lolesio but he’s pushed back into his own 22. It’s becoming a bit of kick tennis. Lolesio has to field another tough ball under pressure. Albornoz counters witha rampaging run. Argentina are into Australia’s 22 but there’s a spill. Australia escape with a scrum feed. That was a mad period. Both teams are going for it. What a great end to this game.

68 mins: Argentina shift the point of contact in the line-out and set a formidable maul. But Australia do well to stop it. They bring it down legally but then give away a penalty on the ground just five out. Argentina wrestle the ball over the line but after a double movement. Rather than go again with another line-out or a tap and go, Albornoz will take aim at the posts.

67 min: Argentina have a penalty inside Australia’s 22. The Pumas are purring now and the crowd is matching their energy. Albornoz, on as a replacement on the wing, danced his way past two tacklers and Australia in their haste to halt the wave of blue and white gave away a penalty. They’re close to the corner. Might they look to maul again or will they choose to kick for points? Looks like the corner.

66 min: Gallo spills the ball over the line! Wilson with a try – perhaps match – saving tackle. The big Puma prop burst through a half gap and had to simply finish the move. He dived for the line and while he was in the air Wilson put in a hit that dislodged the ball. What a moment!

65 min: A scrappy period ends with an Australian knock-on inside their own half. Some kick-tennis as both teams searched for an opening. Lolesio fields a kick and chooses to run. That proves to be the wrong decision as he invites too much pressure on himself and then Frost who collected a loose pass under pressure. Argentina swarmed, won the ball but couldn’t stitch enough passes of their own to take advantage after the knock-on. Instead they’ll feed the scrum about 18 metres from the line.

63 min: Gordan picks up the quick ball from the back of the scrum and hoofs a lovely touch finder. Australia – apart from the restarts – are starting to click.

61 min: Argentina drift from right to left and eventually knock it on. S Carreras had created the space as he delayed his pass, but the ball to Cinti wasn’t ideal when it was delivered and the outside centre couldn’t hold on. Scrum to Australia inside their 22.

60 min: AGAIN! Another restart is botched by the Wallabies. Every time they score they invite pressure back on themselves. This time a ball is dropped so Argentina have the scrum feed inside the Wallabies’ 22.

58 min: Bertranou slices his kick from the base of the scrum so it’s a big net gain for the Wallabies who’ll have the line-out throw on the 22. Now they have a penalty advantage from the resulting maul and could take the lead if they go for poles. Indeed they will. It’s certainly in range, but the angle might make this tricky for Lolesio who’ll be kicking from the left of the sticks.

55 min: Stewart spills the ball just as Australia were working through the hands inside Argentina’s 22. That’s frustrating but the way the Wallabies’ scrum is firing this might not be such a bad outcome.

A quick shout for Ikitau who is a leading light in that midfield. A wonderful game from him so far.

54 min: Another penalty for Australia and it’s that man Tizzano yet again. The Wallabies line-out falters so there’s a loose ball that needs getting. Bertranou pounced but Tizzano was there to get over it and secure the penalty.

53 min: Scrum penalty this time for Australia. Bell gets the better of the new man Bello.

52 min: Australia just haven’t got their restarts right. Not for the first time they cough up easy possession after scoring points. Argentina look a little disjointed but they’ll have the scrum feed a few out from Australia’s 22.

49 min: In the blink of an eye we’ve gone from Australia feeding the scrum five metres out to throwing a line-out on the half-way line. Argentina secured their own line-out and hoofed a mighty clearance up field. Australia have to be smarter than that.

48 min: What a waste! A truly poor decision as Australia choose to go down the blindside. But there was little more than five metres to play with and Argentina rallied to shove the men in gold out over the line.

47 min: Australia will have a five metre scrum. It started with a brilliant steal from Bell – are we sure he’s a prop? – and then it went down through the hands. Kellaway nudged a grubber ahead and Koroibete chased and forced the covering Puma back over his own line. A wonderful opportunity here for the Wallabies. First they have to get their scrum secure.

44 min: Argentina win the scrum penalty and their entire pack leaps up in celebration. Big win for the home side. Tupou is the guilty party but I genuinely have no idea how the referee can make a call there. Looked like both props went down. Anyway, S Carreras will line up this gimme kick.

43 min: Great defence from Australia. They’ve shown great patience when defending as well as attacking. And eventually they force the error, there’s a knock-on at the base of the ruck so Australia will have the scrum feed on their own 22.

41 min: We’re back and Argentina have picked up where they left off, attacking with zippy hands and an eagerness to go wide. Seven phases in and they’re up to Australia’s 22.

38 min: Faessler goes to the front of the line-out and finds his jumper. Down the line they go. Wilson on the angle. Bell cuts against the grain. They’re looking for holes on the fringe of the close exchanges. Short passes. Stiff runs. Argentina’s defence holds. But Matera comes in from the side so it’s a straight-arm penalty. Lolesio tells his skipper he can hit the poles from here. About 37 metres but with a breeze in his face.

37 min: Bell with a penalty on the ground! Excellent from the big unit who might be playing prop but performed the job of a loose forward there. That gives Lolesio the chance to clear upfield where the Wallabies will have another throw.

37 min: Argentina are good value for their lead, but they’re also getting the bounce of the ball at the minute. A high hopeful kick lands and bounces back towards their onrushing players. Then a cross-field kick lands and bounces out inside Australia’s 22, where Faessler will throw under pressure to find a jumper.

32 min: A real helter-skelter period inside Australia’s 22 ends with a penalty to Argentina. Credit to the Wallabies defence which has stood firm. But a moment of ill discipline from Stewart – who illegally entered a ruck – means Argentina should stretch their lead by three.

29 min: How deflating. From the restart Australia spill the ball so Argentina have the scrum feed inside the Wallabies’ 22.

27 min: Australia are keeping their passes short with runners carrying into traffic. They’re hammering the line and now have a penalty. Eight phases. This is looking good…

25 min: Another penalty for Australia, this time inside Argentina’s half. The Pumas had the line-out but the Wallabies did well to disrupt. Under pressure the Pumas couldn’t organise themselves and there’s an infringement – for off-side I think. Either way, Australia have a platform from the line-out about 15 metres out.

23 min: A big steal from Tizzano saves Australia’s skins! Argentina were starting to fizz the ball through the hands and were once again threatening inside Australia’s 22. But the Western Force flanker got over the ball and nicked a penalty on the deck.

21 min: Lolesio lands a brilliant clearing kick. Australia then get their hands back on the ball and choose to go through the hands past the second receiver. Much better. Oh, but they lose it. Just so frustrating. Argentina back on the attack again with a cross-field kick testing both wingers. Wright emerges with it and Gordan lands a solid box kick out of touch.

19 min: Sharp hands from Argentina has them moving the ball up field from a line-out. They’re just far more incisive with ball in hand than the Wallabies. They get into Australia’s 22 but there’s a knock-on so the chance to set a scrum and clear for the visitors.

17 min: Another soft error. Koroibete, from the restart, takes out an Argentina player in the air so coughs up a needless penalty. The Pumas will have the throw close to half-way after a good touch finder. They secure the ball and then Australia give away another penalty after illegally interfering with the set maul. The Wallabies really need to sharpen up.

15 min: Australia win the restart and set an attack. Quick hands from Tupou generates some go-forward. Loelsio hoists a high cross-field kick which lands on his team’s side but Argentina have it back shortly after. They clear ahead and an intercept suddenly has Australian defenders back-peddling. In a flash they have their heels on their wn try line and Faessler is rushed into a ruck which he seals off illegally so Argentina have the penalty five metres out. They kick to the corner.

11 min: Australia give away a penalty as Argentina set their attack from the line-out. They’re more direct with ball in hand as they look to spread it wide. But there’s a spill so we’ll come back for the penalty in range. Montoya points to the poles and asks S Carreras to take aim.

9 min: Australia are back on attack. Lolesio dinks a kick over the onrushing defence and they retain possession. Another kick though is fielded by Mallia and a big boot has the ball bobbling near Australia’s try-line. That was a really kind bounce. Australia’s return kick is hooked so Argentina have the line-out feed inside Wallaby territory.

8 min: This move is now 20 phases long but Australia aren’t going anywhere. Still, they have the ball and keep hammering the blue and white wall. 25 phases now. It’s all a bit too one dimensional. Wright throws a dummy but no one is buying. Eventually there’s a speculative kick ahead from Lolesio and it dribbles into the in-goal area and is safely dotted down. 27 phases for nothing to show.

6 min: Wilson secures the line-out and Australia keep the ball. Valetini twice carries into traffic. Seven phases becomes eight but they’re pushed back to the 22. Wilson carries again. Gordan is now well behind the 22. Ikitau tries to wriggle round the edge but again Argentina repel the men in gold. They’ve gone backwards about 20 metres from where the line-out was taken.

4 min: Australia get the scrum penalty. Big shove from Tupou. Out of range for Lolesio so he boots a long touch finder. About 12 metres from the Pumas’ line.

3 min: It’s a poor throw from Montoya. Too short and Australia manage to steal the ball. Gordan then puts up a contestable kick which is knocked on so the Wallabies will have the scrum feed just inside half-way.

2 min: Rubiola is going off the field for an HIA and Lavanini enters the scene. He’ll be a target at this line-out for Montoya.

1 min: Lolesio kicks off and Argentina have the ball. There’s a long raking kick that Wright fields but the return kick is sliced. So Argentina have the throw inside Australian territory.

There’s a late change for Argentina. Gonzalo García comes in for Lautaro Bazán Vélez, who picked up a knock in the warm-up

Intense passion from the Argentina players. They’re up for this. we’re seconds away from kick-off now.

Time for the anthems. The players are shivering! My goodness it looks grim.

It is bucketing down! Wet, windy, no doubt slipper underfoot. Might be a stodgy game.

Argentina have won their last two meetings with the Wallabies.

Last year they edged Australia 34-31 in Sydney and the year before that they hammered Dave Rennie’s team 48-17 across a seven try demolition job in San Juan.

“Not good enough,” was Rennie’s entry into the understatement of the year award.

One of my favourite rugby podcasts is optimistic about Stewart’s debut. Anyone out there share this sentiment?

Joe Schmidt is backing young Harry Wilson to lead with distinction.

“Harry’s been really good for us and I think he’s led himself really well,” Schmidt said on Friday morning from Argentina. “He has a natural propensity to express himself well, but with very few words, and I don’t think that we want to be doing too much talking, it’s about the actions that he’s going to deliver and lead from the front effectively.

“We’re pretty happy with the selection amongst the coaching group and even talking to some of the players about who would be best to step up, there was a lot of confidence around Harry.”

For those who missed it, the Springboks beat the All Blacks in a stunner in Johannesburg.

Here’s the report:
