  1. Argentina 12-19 Australiapublished at 46 mins

    Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe's dirty mitts are all over the ball on the floor as he chases up an aimless punt forward from back-row colleague Leonardo Senatore.

    Penalty Australia and another test of Bernard Foley's nerves...

    Argentina are up to within seven points.

    That creaky Aussie scrum is what they need to target to close that gap further.

    Australia's scrum is looking like their Achilles heel once again.

    A third scrum penalty for Argentina as James Slipper is prised off the floor again as the Pumas pour pressure through the Aussie loose-head.

    Bang in front and Nicolas Sanchez sends it over.

    Argentina are being gutted of experience.

    Juan Martin Hernandez is the latest pillar of the team to be taken out by injury. Jeronimo de la Fuente is on in his place.

    Ahead of kick-off we spoke about Argentina's lethal attack (albeit against easier opposition than Australia) during the tournament. But, as the offensive stats show, it is the three-try Wallabies who have been the most clinical.

    "They have to revert back to the old Argentina to win this game. They have to get the dominance up front and grind out the penalties."

    Bernard Foley is looking a little flaky off the tee.

    The Australia fly-half sends one wobbling wide to the delight of most of the crowd in Twickenham.

    Santiago Cordero gathers the kick-off, but has the ball pinched from him from Scott Fardy.

    The Pumas get desperate as they attempt to recover the situation and they have stretched Wayne Barnes' patience too far.

    Penalty and Bernard Foley is going to set his sights on the sticks.

    The Aussies are edging the possession stats, although the bulk of the action sees Argentina trying to batter a hole in the Wallabies defence between the halfway line and their own 22. But, as we all know, the key statistic is the one which is 19-9 in favour of Australia...

    "Santiago Cordero, the angle of his running is clever, he avoids the big guys and runs on their blind shoulders. He's been a revelation. and so have the Argentina back line."

    "Why did he need to throw the miracle ball? Why did he need to be flash? Just pop it up and they score. The chance is missed. The difference so far - two chances for Argentina, no tries. Australia have been clinical."
