Australia Overcomes 14-Point Deficit to Beat Argentina 28-24 in Rugby Championship

Australia's Wallabies staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Argentina 28-24 in a Rugby Championship Test in Townsville, highlighted by an 86th-minute winning try from Angus Bell. Trailing 21-7 at halftime, Australia rallied in the second half with key contributions from Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who scored twice, and strong performances in possession, scrums, and defense. The Wallabies controlled possession and territory in the latter stages, converting all four tries and maintaining discipline to close out the victory despite Argentina's early lead and late penalty. Captain Harry Wilson noted the team chose to press for a win rather than settle for a draw with a penalty kick, reflecting their confidence and momentum under outgoing coach Joe Schmidt. The match continued Australia's recent resurgence following a historic win over South Africa, underscoring their resilience against strong opposition and the enthusiastic support of home fans. Argentina's efforts included early tries and penalty goals, but they ultimately fell short against Australia's improved second-half execution.
