SYDNEY :In-form winger Andrew Kellaway grabbed a hat-trick of tries as Australia rounded out their Rugby Championship campaign with a comfortable 32-17 win over Argentina on the Gold Coast on Saturday.
The bonus-point victory ensured the Wallabies would finish second in the championship behind New Zealand, who have already secured the title and later face world champions South Africa in the final match of the competition at the same stadium. The opening 27 minutes of the contest were a cagey battle for field position and it was not until Pumas lock Tomas Lavanini was shown a yellow card for a lineout infringement that Australia were able to add to Quade Cooper's early penalty.
Emiliano Boffelli converted a penalty after a period of sustained Argentina pressure to reduce the deficit to 15-3 at the break but Australia grabbed their third try soon after the restart. The Argentina team was selected without six squad players who breached COVID-19 protocols by leaving Queensland to travel to New South Wales during the week and were excluded from the championship.
