SYDNEY : Juan Martin Gonzalez scored a late winner as Argentina stunned Australia 34-31 in the Rugby Championship on Saturday to leave the Wallabies in disarray and without a win two games into the second Eddie Jones era.
Samu Kerevi, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Len Ikitau and Nic White scored Australia's tries, while Jeronimo de la Fuente, skipper Julian Montoya and Mateo Carreras also crossed for the Pumas. Jones returned as coach in January this year after being sacked by England but his assertion that Australia can win a third World Cup in October now looks highly optimistic after last week's thrashing by the Springboks and now a second loss.
It had looked like being a dream night for Australia when Nawaqanitawase intercepted a pass close to his own line with five minutes on the clock and raced the length of the field top score what looked like a winning try.
