Australia scored five second-half tries to rally to their first victory of this year’s Rugby Championship with a 45-20 win over Argentina at a chilly Canberra Stadium on Saturday. Fullback Israel Folau scored tries either side of halftime and Sekope Kepu, Will Genia, Nick Phipps and Jordan Uelese also crossed to secure a bonus-point victory. The Pumas head back to Argentina for their final two matches still searching for their first win of the Rugby Championship and only one victory, over Georgia, in seven matches this year.

The Wallabies played more direct rugby and got their reward with a second try three minutes later when a lofted Will Genia pass gave Folau the space to cross again.
