Australia vs Argentina Rugby Championship 2023: preview

Having both fallen to chastening defeats in their opening fixtures of the 2023 Rugby Championship, Australia and Argentina will be hoping for redemption as the two sides go head-to-head at CommBank Stadium on Saturday.

Wallabies head coach Eddie Jones couldn't have asked for a worse start to his second stint in charge of the Aussies, after seeing his side completely outplayed in their 43-12 mauling at the hands of South Africa in Pretoria last weekend.

The nature of the performance has already placed Jones under pressure among Wallabies fans hoping for a quick fix following Dave Rennie's much maligned tenure as coach.

Argentina, meanwhile, went down to a similar scoreline to the All Blacks in an error-strewn 41-12 defeat last Saturday in Mendoza.

That match saw the Puma's front-row picked apart repeatedly by New Zealand in scrums and lineouts, and will be a weakness Australia will surely look to target here.
