    FT: Wales 20-20 Argentina

    That's all for today then.

    Wales came within a whisker of snatching a dramatic late victory - but Argentina's 14 men deserve great credit for securing a battling draw.

    The two sides will do it all over again next Saturday, so we hope you'll join us for our live coverage of the second Test.

    Until then, have a good weekend and enjoy the rest of the weekend's rugby union offerings with England facing Canada and the British and Irish Lions taking on the Sharks in South Africa.

    Thanks for joining us. Hwyl fawr!

  2. Wales boss Pivac rues lack of clinical edgepublished at 15:10 British Summer Time 10 July 2021

    FT: Wales 20-20 Argentina

    Wales head coach Wayne Pivac tells S4C's Clwb Rygbi: "We have to be more disciplined, look after the ball better than we did.

    "We weren't clinical enough in attack.

    "It was a step up from last week. Both teams were unhappy with a draw, so we'll both want to improve next week.

    "Some of the boys have taken to international rugby like a duck to water. That's going to give us depth."

    Man of the match and Wales full-back Hallam Amos tells S4C's Clwb Rygbi: "It was frustrating. We weren't as clinical as we needed to be to win the game.

    "They're a really good side so it's always going to be challenging.

    "We know more about them now so hopefully we can improve next week."

    Wales' kicking seemed to be too far passive and we didn't seem to put half as much pressure on them as they did on us.

  7. 'Disappointing' draw, says Wales' Turnbullpublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 10 July 2021

    FT: Wales 20-20 Argentina

    Wales forward Josh Turnbull tells S4C's Clwb Rygbi: "That's a bit disappointing.

    "We need to improve our discipline next week.

    "They [Argentina] are a tough team who play a simple game. We need to change from defence to attack better."

    I think the Argentinian pack was the man of the match.

    A tough game for Wales where they just made too many mistakes to win it.

    Jarrod Evans misses his penalty for Wales!

    That was a decent effort from a fair distance. It was close, drifting just wide of the right-hand post.

    Argentina consider running the ball back from their own try line but eventually think better of it and kick it out.

    Game over. Draw.

    Now Wales have possession, Jonah Holmes claiming a high ball.

    The two sides exchange a couple of kicks, and Wales have a penalty!

    Argentina replacement Santiago Chocobares is offside chasing a kick and Wales have a penalty near the 10-metre line inside the Argentina half.

    This is kickable. This is for the match!

    Argentina have possession inside the Wales half.

    The Pumas are playing it safe, keeping the ball among the forwards.

    They want to coax Wales into conceding a penalty.

    Yet again, Wales are thwarted by Argentina's tenacity at the breakdown.

    Pablo Matera gets over the ball and Wales concede another turnover penalty.

    Are their hopes of victory slipping away?

    We're into the final five minutes now.

    You can see the tension is getting to some people.

    Argentina wing Santiago Cordero knocks on from a simple Welsh clearance.

    Wales have possession inside the Pumas' half and a chance to try and snatch a late victory.

    Just moments after levelling the scores, Wales concede a penalty in kickable range.

    But Argentina replacement Domingo Miotti pulls his effort wide.

    James Hook
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    He's looked very sharp since he's come on Tomos Williams. A brilliant try, a left-foot step and he leaves the Argentinian defence for dead.

    Tomos Williams

    Brilliant by Tomos Williams!

    The Wales scrum-half waits at the base of the scrum, picks the ball up and assesses his options before darting to the blindside wing.

    He's too quick for Argentina's defenders, wriggles inside and outside a couple of would-be tacklers and gets over the line.

    A fine individual score.

    Jarrod Evans converts and Wales are level with eight minutes left.

    It's another penalty for Wales from that scrum.

    The Welsh set-piece looked a little unsteady but they're going for another scrum. Big call.

    Excellent work from Tomos Williams, who disrupts Argentina at the back of their scrum and earns Wales a penalty in front of the posts.

    Wales opt for a scrum. This is a prime attacking position for Wayne Pivac's men.

    That's absolutely huge defence from Argentina. Wales aren't confident enough in the scrum so go for the tap penalty and play into Argentina's strengths.

    Wales continue to take the ball up the jumper. This is route-one rugby.

    The carrying is fierce but so is the Argentinian defending - and they hold up the Welsh attackers to win a scrum.

    Superb resilience from the Pumas.
