What a way to start your Sunday: with a fantastic Wallabies win in really trying circumstances.

Thanks for joining me, Vince Rugari, on the live blog - as I mentioned, Jonathan Drennan’s match report is already live, but there’ll be more tier one reportage and analysis to come on this match later today via our various mastheads.

Enjoy. Goodbye.

The match report is in

The Wallabies have killed their eight-match Rugby Championship losing streak after a 79th minute Ben Donaldson penalty goal earned a thrilling 20-19 victory against Argentina in teeming rain in La Plata.

After successive defeats against the world champion Springboks in Australia, the Wallabies knew that their trip to Argentina would provide the perfect opportunity to secure a rare Rugby Championship victory and they did it the hard way.

The losing streak is over

After eight consecutive defeats in the Rugby Championship, the Wallabies are back in the winner’s circle. And what a way to do it.

To all the dads out there, happy Father’s Day. Hard to see how it gets better from here.

Will this be remembered as a seminal moment of the Joe Schmidt era? Incredible guts from Australia to climb back from 10-0 down - they were doing nothing right, early doors, to be honest - and knock off a strong opponent with an emotional edge and in absolutely horrible, horrible conditions away from home.

YES THEY CAN! WALLABIES WIN!

Ben Donaldson buries it.

And that’s the siren.

THEY’VE DONE IT!

WALLABIES WIN: 20-19.

With the final action of the match!

SCENES.

9.57am

Penalty for Australia!

Right in front of the goals, after eight phases of pressure, and we’re into the final minute!

Is this it? Can they do it?

No! Jorgensen move breaks down

Wow.

Moments after knocking on as he tried to catch a high ball, Noah Lolesio breaks the line and gallops from the centre of the park towards the right, Max Jorgensen was there, and redemption was beckoning… Lolesio was trying to set him up but Jorgenson couldn’t hold onto the ball, he drops it and it goes back to Los Pumas.

Was that the chance? The one that they’ll live to regret?

Argentina 19-17 Australia, 78 minutes
