Argentina will be without first-choice flyhalf Tomas Albornoz for their two Rugby Championship clashes against Australia next month after he dislocated a finger at the weekend, the Argentine Rugby Union said on Sunday.

The teams first played each other in 1985, and the Pumas lost 36 games in a row before breaking their duck in a Covid-era match in Australia. The mighty aura of the All Blacks appears well and truly shattered, and the Argentina win has opened up the Rugby Championship, with all four teams having won one game and lost one.

The Pumas have secured a historic win over the All Blacks in Argentina, winning 29-23 in the second Rugby Championship test.
