The third round of matches in the 2025 Round Championship sees Australia play host to Argentina for the test on Saturday.
Australia sit second on the ladder behind the New Zealand All Blacks, with all four teams locked at one win and one loss so far. The Wallabies opened with a 38-22 win over South Africa in Johannesburg before the Springboks bounced back with a 30-22 victory in Cape Town.
This matchup with Los Pumas will be crucial for Australia's hopes of securing a top seeding in the six pools for the 2027 Rugby World Cup on home soil. The Wallabies (84.85 points) are currently sixth in the rankings, just ahead of Argentina (83.40) and need to finish in the top six before the draw in December.
Argentina are coming into this test riding high on confidence after a massive 29-23 win over the All Blacks in Buenos Aires. It was also their first ever victory over New Zealand, ending a 15-match winless drought.
Los Pumas also hold the upper hand in recent meetings with Australia, winning three of the last five. Their most recent encounter in the 2024 Rugby Championship saw Argentina hammer Australia 67-27 -- the largest ever test match defeat for the Wallabies.
