What happened
The final test of the series between Argentina and Australia ended in a 28-28 draw in Mendoza, but Australia had already done enough earlier in the series to clinch the overall series victory. The match was described as feisty and ill-disciplined, suggesting a high number of penalties or cards were issued. Despite failing to win the final match, Australia leave Argentina with the series trophy.
Chance analysis
Australia secured the series outcome despite being unable to break through in the decider in Mendoza, where discipline clearly deteriorated on both sides. For Argentina, drawing at home after losing earlier tests highlights a pattern of competitiveness without execution. The ill-disciplined nature of the finale will be a concern for both coaching staffs heading into the next international window.
Australia take the series 2-0 (or 2-1 depending on prior result) while Argentina settle for a morale-boosting but insufficient draw at home.
