Argentina vs Australia prediction
This two-match test series between Argentina and Australia promises to be a highly entertaining and hard-fought pair of encounters.
The opening match takes place in San Salvador de Jujuy and there will be a ferocious atmosphere to welcome the Wallabies.
Argentina have had some excellent wins in the last year claiming triumphs over world champions South Africa, the All Blacks and the British & Irish Lion, but they have only won one of their last four.
They will be motivated in front of their home fans to put on a show against an Australian team that has shown some recent improvement.
The tourists have changed their pack around somewhat so it will be interesting to see how that plays out here.
With some changes in both sides, it would not be a surprise to see a somewhat disjointed but high-scoring encounter between these two.
Our preference is on the home side as narrow underdogs but our play is on the points and we expect it to go over.
Argentina vs Australia tip: Over 56.5 total points
