Argentina fought back from a 17-point deficit to score nine tries and hand Australia a record 67-27 defeat in an action-packed Rugby Championship clash on Saturday that provided more than a point per minute.

Australia were 20-3 up after 30 minutes but the home side stormed back to score 38 unanswered points to the delight of a sellout crowd in Santa Fe and went on to add more in their biggest win in the Rugby Championship.
