Australia won their first series in Argentina since 1997, taking the two-Test tour 1-0 with a 27-21 win in Jujuy and a 28-28 draw in Mendoza. Tips, head-to-head, key markets and where to bet.
🏉 Australia win the series: the Wallabies drew the second Test 28-28 in Mendoza, a late penalty try levelling it, to take the two-Test series 1-0 after their 27-21 win in Jujuy. It is Australia’s first series win on Argentine soil and their first Puma Trophy since 2022.
The Wallabies are touring Argentina for a two-Test series, their first trip there since 1997, and they lead it 1-0. Australia won the opener 27-21 at Estadio 23 de Agosto in Jujuy on 29 August, four tries to two and more than 1,200 metres above sea level. The decider at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza on Saturday 5 September finished 28-28, a late penalty try rescuing the Wallabies and handing them the series 1-0. Here is how the series played out, the head-to-head and where to bet. For the wider spring program, see our Rugby Championship & Bledisloe Cup hub.

Australia vs Argentina Head-to-Head
Australia’s 27-21 win in Jujuy on 29 August 2026 is the most recent meeting, and it was the Wallabies’ first Test win in Argentina since 1997. Before that the Pumas had closed the gap fast: Argentina beat Australia 28-26 in Sydney in September 2025, with Santiago Carreras kicking 23 points, a week after the Wallabies had won the Townsville Test, a split series that captured how even this rivalry has become. Crucially, both 2026 Tests are in Argentina, where the Pumas are a different proposition; Australia has not toured there since 1997, so the away factor is significant.
Australia vs Argentina Betting Markets
- Series winner. Back Australia or Argentina to take the two-Test series (a drawn series is also priced).
- Match head-to-head. Pick the winner of each Test.
- Handicap (line). With both Tests in Argentina, the line is the smart play against the Pumas’ home record.
- Winning margin & total points. Bracket and over/under markets for tighter Tests.
- First & anytime try-scorer + same-game multi. Combine result, margin and tries.
Australia vs Argentina Prediction
We leaned Argentina before the series on home advantage and the Pumas’ recent record, and Test one went the other way: Australia won 27-21 at the harder of the two venues. That changed the read for Mendoza, where we flagged the series winner market and noted a draw was live if Argentina levelled it. That is exactly how it finished. Argentina had to win to square the series and did push Australia to the wire at 28-28, but a late penalty try meant a drawn Test was enough for the Wallabies to take the series. The handicap was the tighter call of the two.
