Australia pack powers Wallabies to victory over Argentina

A dominant forwards display allowed Australia to grind out a 16-10 home win over Argentina in the second round of the Rugby Championship. Here's a look at the top performers from the match.

 

Australia Pack:

The cornerstone of the victory laying a rock solid foundation for their backs. Completely dominant at scrum time winning five scrum penalties allowing the Wallabies to keep the scoreboard ticking over and play in the right areas of the field. Worked extremely hard throughout whether it be through carries, hitting rucks or fronting up in defence. An immense effort from the engine room of the side.

 

Samu Kerevi:

The burley centre was his usual robust and abrasive self proving difficult to bring down with some powerful carries in the midfield to get Australia over the advantage line and on the front foot.

 

Will Genia:

The maestro controlled the tempo of the match in his 60 minute performance with some slick distribution and pin point box kicks. Showed great vision knowing when to kick, pass or have a snipe.

 

Marika Koroibete:

Not too many opportunities but looked dangerous with ball in hand with electrifying pace. Ran a beautiful line to take a short ball and break setting up the only try for the Wallabies from a set piece scrum move.
