Argentina put in a strong display to beat Wales 33-11 in the second of their two summer Tests. Wales took an early lead after Owen Lane scored a try in the 8th minute. The Pumas replied with a try from Matias Moroni a few minutes later and another from Tomas Cubelli just before the half-hour mark. After the break, Nicolas Sanchez kept the scoreboard ticking over with a series of penalty kicks, before Pablo Matera scored a late try to cap a very convincing victory for the visitors.
