Australia coach Eddie Jones said he was 100% confident he could turn the Wallabies around before the World Cup despite a last-gasp 34-31 Rugby Championship loss to Argentina handing them a second defeat of his second reign as coach.

The error-prone Wallabies looked like they had got out of jail with a Mark Nawaqanitawase intercept try five minutes from time, only for the Pumas to grab a winner in the last few seconds.
