    Israel Folau opts to kick as he gathers the ball on halfway. It is straight into his own man.

    Scrum-down Argentina for the accidental offside.

    Australia allowed Scotland back from the dead in a game they should have had sewn up. Are they about to do it again?

    Argentina still edging the possession. Argentina still edging the territory. But Australia are still edging the scoreline. Tense.

  3. Missed drop-goalpublished at 60 mins

    Argentina 15-22 Australia

    Bernard Foley takes on a drop-goal shot from 35m. He has plenty of time to line it up as some heavy-legged Argentina forward barely jog out of the defensive line towards him, but it is a dud.

    Short, wide and it doesn't even make the in-goal area.

    Argentina's front row are still milking the scrum for penalties.

    The Pumas win a fourth penalty at the set-piece - even though the Aussies have brought on props Toby Smith and Greg Holmes to try and shore it up.

  6. Argentina 15-22 Australiapublished at 57 mins

    Argentina are within a converted try of their opponents, all because of Nicolas Sanchez's trusty right peg. Left touchline? Right touchline? Anywhere in-between? All no bother for the Argentina fly-half who has a flawless record of five kicks from five.

  7. Argentina 15-22 Australiapublished at 57 mins

    Magic from Kurtley Beale! A deft chip over the top from the Aussie replacement, gathered by Bernard Foley.

    Foley throws a big pass to try and find the lurking Adam Ashley-Cooper on the wing.

    Argentina's defenders suddenly have another few mph in their legs through. They flood across and snuff out the danger, winning a turnover.

  8. Argentina 15-22 Australiapublished at 55 mins

    A change at scrum-half for Argentina as Tomas Cubelli replaces Martin Landajo.

    Cubelli has been lively in this tournament. Can he swing the game his side's way?

    "Sanchez is a lovely kicker of the ball. Argentina, now with the dominance in the front row, need to play the game in the right areas. It's about field position and then tightening the noose around the Australia front five."

    Spilled!

    Australia nab the loose ball and Will Genia boots away upfield.

    But Joaquin Tuculet runs back with intent into the Aussie half. Lovely jinking run and play is opening up, wide green pockets for the runners to exploit.

    "It's been a hectic eight minutes - it's all been going on. For Australia, they've played most of the game in the Argentina 22 because of Argentina's lack of exit experience in just clearing it."

    Whistles, jeers and 40 metres of Twickenham turf to overcome, but Bernard Foley's connection is clean and the ball tumbles through the slot.
