Wales vs Argentina LIVE rugby: Result and reaction from autumn international as Wales edge to win

Wales 20-13 Argentina: Wayne Pivac’s side bounced back from to New Zealand last week with a hard-fought win

(AP)

Tries from No 8 Taulupe Faletau and scrum-half Tomos Williams took Wales to a 20-13 victory over a below-par Argentina in their autumn international fixture at the Principality Stadium.

Wales fell 6-0 behind early on but from that moment looked the likely winners as they showed considerably more control in possession and defensive solidity than in the 55-23 hammering they endured against New Zealand last weekend.

Argentina were coming off victory over England but were well below the standard they set in that game, with numerous unforced handling errors and poor kicks before prop Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro scored their only try late on.

Wales host Georgia next Saturday, while Argentina travel to Murrayfield to play Scotland.

France 27-26 South Africa, 76 mins

Taofifenua catches the kick-off and France can kick clear. South Africa pinged for a forward pass as they run it back. A big error and France can milk time with this scrum

TRY! France 27-26 South Africa (Falatea, 74 mins)

Great move off the lineout. Moefana on the wraparound with Lucu and they take it within a couple of inches. And they’re over!

It’s replacement prop Sipili Falatea at the bottom of the pile. Wayne Barnes checks the grounding but loses comms with the TMO! More drama. The try is good though. Ramos misses the extras. could that be crucial?

France 22-26 South Africa, 73 mins

BANG! The physicality still here as winger/flanker/all-round weapon Macalou thunders down the left flank and delivers a hit. The noise rises as France are in the Boks 22.

Pinged again and it’s a France penalty, kicked to the corner.

France 22-26 South Africa, 72 mins

Not the time for the lineout to fail! France overthrow and South Africa jump on the loose ball. You would have fancied them to maul it over had they taken it. Boks kick clear to just outside the 22.

SA sub as Marvin Orie on for captian Siya Kolisi.

SIN-BIN! France 22-26 South Africa (Fourie, 70 mins)

WHAT A DRIVING MAUL! France march all the way within a couple of metres, Boks bring it down illegally. A freebie for France as they go for the cross-field kick but Arendse defends it against Penaud.

We come back for the penalty and Deon Fourie gets shown the yellow card. Next 10 minutes will be with 13 men for the Boks. France kick to the corner...

France 22-26 South Africa, 69 mins

A kicking duel at the moment as both sides try to make the all-important territorial gain. Springboks pinged at the breakdown after Ramos claims the ball in the air.

They kick the penalty into South African territory. Chance with a lineout in the 22 for Les Bleus

France 22-26 South Africa, 66 mins

Into the final 15 minutes and this game is up for grabs. An absolute belter in Marseille.

PEN! France 22-26 South Africa (Willemse, 64 mins)

South Africa have been mixing up their kickers today and fly-half Damian Willemse now gets the nod for his first one of the day with Kolbe off the pitch.

He nails the kick and the lead is back to four

France 22-23 South Africa, 63 mins

Lucu with not a great clearance kick gives the Boks good field position. Grinding through the phases as Etzebeth and co steadily make ground.

They then go wide to the right, Arendse is the man there and Lucu holds a foot before Macalou comes in to help get him into touch a couple of metres out. Good defence.

France then surge clear down the blindside with Macalou. He gets pinged for getting up and going again after being initially tackled. The crowd are livid when the replays show he wasn’t held, and Wayne Barnes has got that one wrong. Still, it’s a kickable penalty for the Boks.
