Wallabies are prepared for Puma ambush

WORLD champions Australia take on Argentina tonight (11.15pm Irish time) looking to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing defeat they suffered at the hands of the Pumas when they last played in South America five years ago.

They won the first game 23-15 in 1997 but then slumped to a 18-16 defeat in the second Test and Aussie coach Eddie Jones is adamant that his team will not fall victim again.

However, if his men are to succeed, they will need to tame the ferocious power of the Argentine pack cheered on by an intimidating River Plate Stadium crowd.
