Coach Mario Ledesma was left to regret a series of missed opportunities as Argentina slipped to another loss in The Rugby Championship against Australia in Townsville on Saturday.

"The first couple of tries were pretty easy for them, they didn't have to work a lot for them," he said. Julian Montoya's 42nd minute unconverted try saw Argentina trail by nine points before James O'Connor's penalty and a converted try by Andrew Kellaway sealed the win for Dave Rennie's team."I think we did, we had a couple of poor games at the start of the championship but the guys were coming back from holidays and in their pre-season they had to play the world champions .

"It's really easy to put the finger on what didn't work tonight. There's one more week to go and we're pretty excited to challenge the Wallabies again next week."
