WALES bounced back in style from their fifty points mauling against New Zealand to grind out a richly-deserved victory against the dangerous Pumas.
If Wayne Pivac’s team had suffered the same fate as England – who joined New Zealand and Australia among Argentina’s 2022 victims last week – it would have piled the pressure on the Wales coach.
His team had lost seven of their previous nine matches this year, and could not afford another defeat with the World Cup looming large.
But after allowing Argentina to race into a 6-0 lead, tries from Taulupe Faletau and Tomos Williams turned the tide, and Wales dominated the match.
It was also a much-improved defensive performance from the Dragons’ led by skipper Justin Tipuric and man of the match Faletau.
