It’s been a fast-paced start in San Juan, with Argentina retaking the lead in what’s been an entertaining affair.<\/p>\n

Dewi Lake opened the scoring for the visitors by crashing over for a converted try, before Joaquin Oviedo hit back with a try of his own, with Tomas Albornoz adding the extras.<\/p>\n

Justo Piccardo added a second try for the hosts, rounding off a brilliant move that started with Bautista Delguy’s superb take under a high ball.<\/p>\n

Wales restored parity courtesy of a Rhys Carre try, before Marcos Kremer crashed over to hand the advantage back to the Pumas.<\/p>\n

Santiago Carreras further extended the hosts’ lead on the stroke of half-time, before Oviedo ran over his second of the day just after half-time.<\/p>\n
