Argentina defeated Australia handily, setting up a thrilling showdown with a winner-take-all format. Argentina looked impressive in this victory. The trophy will be awarded to the player who finishes first after the three round-robin matches.

Rico Simpson, the starting five, and Dylan Pledger, the halfback, are the main players who have changed. The majority of the second half was spent by the two players playing South Africa, with Simpson’s long throw being crucial in the setup of two tries.
