    It was wet, scrappy and not particularly pretty for in Sydney, but Argentina won't mind.

    Neither will the All Blacks, they're Tri-Nations Series champions despite a stuttering start.

    "It was hard conditions, we were smart with our kicks and won the territory battle, but were unable to convert.

    "There were some nice parts, some good wins and performances from individuals this season."

    There's the hooter. Australia are desperately looking for a gap in that Pumas line.

    Australia 16-16 Argentina

    Reece Hodge, from 45 metres out, slightly right of the posts - and he can't bring it round!

    The Wallabies full-back as his head in his hands. It remains level with seconds to play.

    Advantage Australia. Argentina continue to give up penalties, this one is 45 metres out.

    Will Reece Hodge go for the sticks? He's smiling - he missed one two weeks ago in similar circumstances, but he's going for it.

    It comes to nothing - the rain strikes again as Julian Montoya lets the ball slip forward in a tackle.

    Argentina welcome back Lucas Paulos, they have a man advantage once more and four minutes to make it count.

    Australia 16-16 Argentina

    Argentina boot deep into the Wallabies half and Tom Banks gathers smartly. Jake Gordon looks to send one back but he's just outside the 22m and that gives the Pumas a line-out within range.

    Spillage in the wet conditions by James O'Connor as an Australia attack was building. A spot of relief for Argentina.

    Ten minutes left, all square, who is going to snatch this one?

    These sides drew 15-15 last month, but the Wallabies seem to have the momentum here.

    Scrum-half Nic White hobbles off with what looks like cramp in his calf.

    Michael Hooper, con Reece Hodge

    The Wallabies skipper is over from the back of the maul!

    Australia take it in from the line-out and roll towards the line for Michael Hooper to wriggle over the line for his 20th Test try.

    Reece Hodge rattles over the extras and it's all square in Sydney.

    Matt Philip gathers and the green and gold maul begins rolling once more. Argentina pile soaking wet bodies on the line to halt them, but Lucas Paulos collapsed the maul there and he sees yellow.

    It's 14 v14.

    Nic White throws a dummy after collecting from the back of an Australian rolling maul five metres out. It's knocked from his grasp but the Wallabies had an advantage and can stick it in touch to start again.

    Domingo Miotti

    Domingo Miotti makes no mistake with the resulting penalty as Argentina extend their lead to seven points.

    That's a converted try, but Australia haven't managed one of those in 140 minutes of rugby against the Pumas in this Tri-Nations Series so far...
