Australia vs Argentina preview

Eddie Jones' welcoming party to the 2023 Rugby Championship was about as chastening as it gets, but his old mucker Michael Cheika could make things infinitely worse as Australia host Argentina at CommBank Stadium in Sydney.

The Wallabies and the Pumas each entered this tournament with enormous optimism only to have their lights pummelled out on opening weekend. With Australia set to face New Zealand next week and Argentina still waiting to take on South Africa, today's clash provides one final realistic hope of getting points on the board for both nations.

Australia resembled Jones' late-era England team last weekend – the relentless kicking getting fans on their backs and sloppy handling proving even more damaging. They conceded six tries and scored just two, and despite Quade Cooper's struggles, their coach has opted against parachuting in Carter Gordon who made a big impact from the bench. James Slipper will captain the side in the absence of Michael Hooper.

Cheika, who lost seven of seven meetings with Jones as Australia coach before finally getting one back in the unlikeliest of circumstances when he took the helm at Argentina, has brought former sevens player Rodrigo Isgro into the fold. That's one of four changes to the Pumas lineup, which needs to find a way to get the most out of Julian Montoya and Thomas Gallo.

This is a huge clash for both sides, and here's how to watch a free Australia vs Argentina live stream wherever you are.
