Wallabies Draw Argentina 28-28, Win Series

Published 6 September 2026

The Australian Wallabies and Argentina's Pumas played to a 28-28 draw in Mendoza on Saturday, September 5, 2026, a result that secured a historic series victory for Australia but left the team frustrated by a missed opportunity to win. The match, played in wet conditions, saw the Wallabies hold a significant advantage in the final 10 minutes with Argentina reduced to 13 players, but they were unable to capitalize due to handling errors and a breakdown penalty conceded by the home side. The draw ended Australia's four-match winning streak but extended their unbeaten run to five Tests, marking their first undefeated series in Argentina in 47 years. Wallabies captain Harry Wilson expressed disappointment, stating, "The boys were hurting with the result. We really wanted to win that, and there's a lot of disappointment." Head coach Les Kiss acknowledged the mixed feelings, noting, "We're not going to catastrophise it, but there's one or two key moments, three moments, that just allows them to stay in the game.
