Australia Suffers Historic Rugby Defeat to Argentina
News summary

The Australian rugby team, under coach Joe Schmidt, suffered a historic 67-27 loss to Argentina, marking the most points conceded in their Test history. After taking an early 20-3 lead, the Wallabies collapsed in the second half, with Schmidt lamenting that his young squad 'fell off a cliff' as they conceded four tries in the last ten minutes. This defeat follows a close 20-19 victory over the same team just a week prior, leaving Australia at the bottom of the Rugby Championship standings with only one win from four matches. Schmidt acknowledged the inexperience in his squad, having fielded 16 debutants this year, and emphasized the need for immediate improvement. He stated, 'We're not going to bury the squad' but called for a strong response from his players. The Wallabies' next match is against New Zealand on September 21, where they aim to bounce back from this heavy defeat.
