2018 was an Annus Horribilis for Australian Rugby. You’d love to say “off-field ructions” were the low point - but a 4 from 13 record on the pitch suggests there was plenty wrong inside Chez Wallabies. Michael Cheika’s vision for the side has repeatedly coming into question with tinkering giving way to significant shifts in personnel. Now a “simplified” return to attacking rugby is the cry ahead of the World Cup - but as the first round Rugby Championship loss to South Africa suggested, there’s still plenty to do if Australia is to challenge at all in the forthcoming World Cup.

Argentina are coming off a pretty impressive first round showing against the All Blacks where they lost narrowly 16-20, but their record in Australia will give the Wallabies some comfort. It’s 13-2 on Australia soil - but concerningly one of those two wins for the Pumas came on the Gold Coast, last year.

On the bright side it’s a stunning return to the side after a three-year absence for Christian Lealiifano - who has battled cancer to return to the top. We wish him the very best.

Plenty of talking points - we’ll delve into those shortly - in the interim, get the kettle on, pull out the fluffy robe. It’s live Rugby Championship action - all here as part of your Saturday Sportwatch!
