Pumas run riot to crush Wales
The Mercury
|November 10, 2025
ARGENTINA overpowered Wales 52-28 in Cardiff Cardiff yesterday as home coach Steve Tandy's first game in charge of the national side ended in a comprehensive loss.
-
The Pumas, sixth in the world rankings to Wales' twelfth place, ran in seven tries, all converted by Santiago Carreras, who also landed a penalty for a match haul of 17 points.
Four of those tries came in a first half when Argentina led 14-0, were pegged back to 14-14, but turned round in command at 31-14.
Victory gave Argentina their highest score and largest winning margin against Wales, who also suffered a tenth successive home defeat.
Meanwhile, Scotland face a nervous wait to discover if star player Finn Russell will be fit to face Argentina in Edinburgh next weekend.
The influential fly-half needed several bouts of treatment for a knee problem during Saturday's agonising 25-17 loss to New Zealand before being replaced in the closing stages at Murrayfield following an ankle injury.
