PRE-GAME
T-15 min to go: Word from Les Kiss from the ground

Coach Les Kiss is expecting a strong response from Argentina after last week's defeat, singling out combination changes the opportunity for Ben Donaldson to impress in his first start since 2024.

"There was a couple of moments [last week], where we just put a lot of pressure on ourselves. A couple of easy outs." he said via Stan Sport.

"We just want to make sure we get those things right this week, and manage the game better in that way.

"We're Ben [Donaldson] to be Ben. Marshall the troops, keeping the ball around the park when we need to, but let's be brave also, create opportunities and see if we can strike space."

The stadium is filling up quickly, lots of Pumas jerseys but there's a small pocket of Wallabies fans in the stands, hoping to see another victory under Kiss.
