    The game has opened up and it suits the way that Jarrod Evans plays. The tempo has increased since he's come on.

    When Wales have got into Argentina's 22, they have scored tries with some ease but it's what happens in the middle of the pitch that is proving to be the problem.

    Murray try, Evans con

    The wing sails through for his third Test try.

    Wales at least fighting to the end.

    Murray's initial break got Wales upfield. From the resulting scrum, Ben Thomas and then Archie Griffin go close before Tomos Williams fizzes a flat pass across three players to hand Murray an easy finish.

    Replacement fly-half Jarrod Evans converts.

    Wales 21-45 Argentina

    Ben Thomas glides through Argentina's midfield and gets the ball in the hands of Rees-Zammit.

    The wing kicks ahead but not even he is fast enough to reach the ball before it bounces out of the try area.

    Now he gets up holding his shoulder. Not him as well?!

    We're just seeing Jac Morgan being comforted - or rather consoled - by teammates as he returns to his seat among the replacements with his arm in a sling.

    That does NOT look good for the Wales captain.

    Argentina did the same in the Rugby World Cup two years ago to win that game.

    They stole possession by reading the move so well.

    Prisciantelli try, S Carreras con

    Interception and Argentina have a sixth.

    Just as Wales were growing with confidence, Ben Thomas tried to find Tomos Williams on the loop pass - just as he did to great effect with Dan Edwards moments ago.

    But this time Argentina saw it coming and the fly-half read the play to perfection, snatching the ball and racing clear from 25 metres out for his second of the day.

    When he gets a chance, that's what Louis Rees-Zammit is capable of.

    He shows great pace and it's a very good kick.

    Wales are throwing caution to the wind and now we get to see Louis Rees-Zammit in full flight.

    Beats a man out wide, chips ahead but the bouncing ball comes off his fingertips.

    Max Llewellyn gathers and touches down but it's no try.

    So close... but so exciting.

    Fabulous break by Dan Edwards brings the stadium to its feet.

    He looped around the back of the Welsh line, racing onto Ben Thomas' clever pass and weaved his way up field before he's felled by an ankle-tap just when he thought he was clear.

    Oh the ankle tap... one of the best sights in rugby.

    He was already warming up to come on for someone but Morgan's injury means he takes over from the captain for his Test debut at the age of 31. That's a long time to wait!

    I'm afraid Sioned that Wales have lost Morgan.

    He is holding his left arm very gingerly and from the way he is walking off the pitch, it looks like it could be a pretty serious shoulder injury.

    What a shame for Morgan - and Wales.

    I really hope that shoulder is ok. Now is not the time to be losing Jac Morgan.

    The quick tap and go has worked well for Wales and you can see how powerful he is in those positions.

    Morgan try, Edwards con

    Wales take a quick tap penalty and the captain is over right next to the post.

    Some big carries from the forwards, especially Dewi Lake, got Wales up field.

    Argentina give away a penalty on the line and Morgan's quick-thinking gets him over.

    Oh dear, but the captain is hurt in the process.

    The contrast in discipline is starting to really show.

    Wales have had two yellow cards and given away countless other penalties.

    Argentina have only just conceded their second penalty in 50 minutes.

    The visitors are full of running now. They know that the game might well be won.

    They're enjoying themselves and Wales need to make sure that they stop conceding and get some structure back to their game.

    Argentina burst clear Bautista Delguy flies past Josh Adams down the left touchline.

    Fly-half Prisciantelli would have taken the inside pass but for an off-the-ball challenge by Tomos Williams.

    The scrum-half will spend the next 10 minutes in the sin bin.

    Here he is... prodigal son Louis Rees-Zammit takes the field for Wales for the first time since facing Argentina in the 2023 World Cup quarter-final.

    There is so much hope and expectation on this young man's shoulders to help lift Welsh fortunes. You just hope it's not too much.

    Props Nicky Smith and Archie Griffin also on.

    We wanted to see Wales come out and play but there were two kicks there that weren't good enough or deep enough.

    Argentina, to their credit, turned the ball over and you can't do that against them because they will punish you.
