Australia Secures Last-Minute 28-24 Win Over Argentina in Rugby Championship

News summary

Australia's Wallabies secured a dramatic 28-24 comeback victory over Argentina in the Rugby Championship, with reserve prop Angus Bell scoring the winning try in the sixth minute of added time. The match saw Argentina take a commanding 21-7 lead at half-time, capitalizing early with penalty goals and tries, but the Wallabies rallied in the second half, led by Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i who scored two crucial tries. Argentina's Mateo Carreras was sent off in the 62nd minute after multiple penalties, giving Australia a numerical advantage that helped level the score and eventually push for the win. The victory was particularly significant as it avenged Australia’s record 67-27 loss to Argentina in the same tournament last year. Wallabies captain Harry Wilson praised the team's belief and courage in opting for a try rather than settling for penalty goals late in the game. Both teams entered the match with identical records, making this win a pivotal moment in the championship and a testament to the Wallabies’ resilience and strategic execution under coach Joe Schmidt.
