    I thought it was all Wales for the first half an hour of the game.

    We were comfortably in the lead at 10-0 and then we allowed Argentina back into the game with two late penalties.

    Tomas Lavanini grabbing Aaron Wainwright around the collar, putting him into the deck, you can't be doing stuff like that in these games!

    Wales and Josh Adams are lucky that's not a yellow card.

    Argentina are going in with all the momentum, Wales were on fire at the start of the game and they were almost perfect, causing Argentina problems, going through and round the opposition defence.

    But you have to score the points, Wales should have scored at least one more try and be 17-0 up, but since then it's been mistake after mistake and handing Argentina the momentum.

    So it's given as a penalty.

    Upon reflection, Adams does look like he put the shoulder into that challenge, so he's lucky not to get a card.

    They're looking at replays of a collision between Josh Adams and an Argentina scrum-half Tomas Cubelli.

    The Pumas fans are doing their best to express their outrage, but it looked like they just ran into each other.

    Well it's simmered down and the officials are talking.

    We've just seen a replay on the screen of Tomas Lavanini throwing Aaron Wainwright to the floor by his collar.

    Argentina are not happy with a tackle and suddenly all the forwards are in. Oh it's getting a bit tasty here.

    Nick Tompkins misses a tackle and Argentina are again threatening.

    Argentina kick up field, a great chase puts Liam Williams under pressure and his lose kick just invites Argentina to run it back.

    I spoke too soon about Liam!

    Wales' defence holds, particularly Liam Williams with a crucial turnover. He's been so good in defence so far.

    Argentina still get a penalty after Gareth Thomas strayed offside.

    Argentina do get a penalty on the half-way line and kick to the corner.

    Ok let's see what they've got - they need a score.

    Gareth Davies hasn't had a good half so far, he was incredible against Australia, the best he's played in a while but he's making mistakes, that was an awful pass after Louis Rees-Zammit has crossed the gainline.

    Well I'm surprised that wasn't picked up.

    Deafening whistles from the Argentine fans when it's replayed on the giant screens but no penalty.

    Another Welsh lineout is missed - that's three in a row for Ryan Elias.

    And Tommy Reffell may be in trouble for taking a player in the air.

    That's a backrow working together, Tommy Reffell making a low tackle and then Jac Morgan straight over the ball winning the turnover, that's a back row pairing.

    They did have Matt, but that was a poor pass from Gareth Davies.

    Louis Rees-Zammit had lined up behind a scrum and darted left, but the scrum-half's follow-up pass went to ground.

    He hasn't had a great start.

    The focus for Argentina is how they organise their set-piece defence as it is all over the place.

    Argentina are doing the old school drift and it is giving Wales such momentum that Argentina cannot recover.

    Wales are playing far wider, especially off first phase ball, then seen in previous games.

    They are playing an expansive game and creating a couple of try-scoring chances which they have spurned.
