By The Numbers: Wallabies Face Pumas Test In Townsville
Argentina aims to extend its dominance over Australia after recent wins, while the Wallabies look to bounce back in Townsville. The numbers tell the story.
Townsville isn’t often the center of the rugby universe, but this weekend, it hosts a matchup brimming with intrigue.
Australia and Argentina collide in a clash that feels far more evenly poised than history once suggested.
The Pumas have turned the rivalry on its head, winning three of the last four, including a record-breaking 67-27 rout in 2024.

For the Wallabies, who have made a habit of starting slowly and conceding heavily in first halves, the challenge will be finding defensive steel.
Argentina, with a forward pack that has carried more and hit harder than anyone else in this year’s Championship, the key is whether Pablo Matera and Lucio Cinti can again lead the charge.
With both sides desperate to stay alive in the title hunt, the numbers provide a telling backdrop to what should be a bruising evening under the North Queensland lights.
