Argentina’s clash against Wales on day two of the 2026 Nations Championship is going swimmingly, with the teams experiencing contrasting fortunes over the opening weekend of the tournament.
Los Pumas go into Saturday’s home clash at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario as favorites, but they are coming off a bruising 38-47 defeat to Scotland that would have looked much worse had the visitors not pulled the plug in the final minutes to allow Argentina to move past a two-time shutout.
Wales’ rebuild, meanwhile, continues to show promise. Their hard-fought 24-39 victory over Fiji was their third victory in a row, and the fact that it came against the run of play only illustrates the resilience that Steve Tandy has managed to foster.
Argentina, however, brings back bad memories. Felipe Contepomi’s men beat Wales 52-28 in Cardiff last November, in Tandy’s first game in charge, and Jac Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder during the match.
The talismanic Wales skipper, however, showed he is keen to make up for lost time by scoring twice on his return home last weekend. Louis Rees-Zammit’s form, however, remains a concern. He was dropped to the bench in favor of Ellis Mee, while Tandy also brought on Sam Costelow for Dan Edwards at fly-half.
