Argentina have blown away the Wallabies to take a 67-27 win in Santa Fe.

The Australians started fast to take a 20-3 lead after tries to Carlo Tizzano and Andrew Kellaway.

But Argentina built momentum and ran away with the game with a near perfect display of attacking Rugby.

The Wallabies had little answer as Argentina hit back to reduce the margin to three at the break before running in the tries in the second half.

Seven second half tries sealed Los Pumas victory as the Wallabies turn their focus to the Bledisloe Cup.

An early trade of penalties eventually lead to the opener as the Wallabies powered their way into space through Angus Bell.

Metre-by-metre, the visitors pressed the line before flanker Carlo Tizzano dived over the line for the opener.

This allowed the Wallabies to extend their lead when some great hands from Max Jorgensen and Andrew Kellaway put the fullback over for a 20-3 lead.

The hosts kept themselves in the contest with two late tries in the first half after Pablo Matera put Mateo Carreras over the line before Julian Montoya barged over the line two minutes before the break.

With all the momentum, Argentina struck right after the break as Juan Martin Gonzalez got Los Pumas in front with a burst from short.

From here, Argentina were unstoppable as they ran away with the win.

Flanker Matera barged over for a try of his own after a series of strong scrums.

When Joaquin Oviedo dived over in the 65th minute, Los Pumas had scored 38 unanswered points to seal the bonus point and the win.

Tate McDermott gave the Aussies a brief glimpse of hope with a try with 11 minutes to go.

But Argentina weren’t finished as four tries in the final ten minutes, including a double to Juan Cruz Mallia capped off an incredible afternoon for Argentina.
