Match Quick Facts

Australia’s Wallabies – Rising Again

The Wallabies have faced inconsistencies over the years, perhaps not knowing if, or when, it would come together again. However, under coach Joe Schmidt there seems to be an energy returning. 

The Wallabies defeated the Springboks at Ellis Park showing something they missed, power and discipline. 

Even without the win, their narrow loss in Cape Town proved they are able to last at being competitive up till the last whistle.

Young stars like Max Jorgensen and Darby Lancaster are shining bright. 

The Wallabies are riding a momentum wave, and they are not simply playing for points, they will want to play for their pride and show the rugby world that Australia can once again be a force.

Argentina’s Los Pumas – The Brave Fighters

Argentina's rugby narrative is one filled with passion, courage, and moments of historical significance. 

Most recently Los Pumas overturned New Zealand at home for the first time ever, a 29-23 success that will certainly boost their confidence. 

With leaders such as Julian Montoya and Pablo Matera, they are no longer the outsiders. 

In fact, Argentina has been joyful in its recent contests against Australia winning 3 from the last 4 Test matches, including that massive 67-27 win in 2024. 

As they arrive in townsville, they will carry with them self-perception, not a self-doubt.
