The Wallabies have finished their Rugby Championship campaign with a dominant 32-17 win over Argentina on the Gold Coast.
After downing the Pumas by 19 points last weekend, the Wallabies kept that momentum going by notching back-to-back wins against Argentina and extended the run of victories to four.
The win seals second spot on The Rugby Championship table, behind the winning All Blacks.
Australia barely broke a sweat at Cbus Super Stadium tonight by taking a commanding 12-point lead at the main break, while also notching the first four tries of the match.

Wallabies winger Andrew Kellaway hard arguably his best game at Test level, finishing the game with a hat-trick in a starring performance.
But in a blow for the Australians, who have upcoming fixtures against Japan, England, Scotland and Wales, there are fears Samu Kerevi may have suffered a syndesmosis injury after he was forced out of the game early in the second half.
“It’s a big loss for the Wallabies,” Tim Horan said in commentary for Nine and Stan Sport.
“You want to make sure Samu Kerevi is right for the tour.
“Some big matches – one against Japan and others against England, Scotland and Wales. This man has been incredible with his ball carries…
“He has his right ankle in an ice bath. A knock on the knee, but it looks like a syndesmosis to his right ankle.”
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie said the Wallabies are hoping the injury doesn’t cost Kerevi too much time on the sideline.
“[There are] question marks around Samu,” Rennie said. “It used to be called a sprained ankle in my day. It’s now called syndesmosis, which is much worse evidently. We’re hoping it’s not too long.”
While the Wallabies had control for most of the game, there were signs early on that it could’ve been a closer contest.

Pumas winger Emiliano Boffelli failed to convert an early penalty goal which would’ve given his side the lead when things were tight during the opening stages.
Later when trailing by three points, a yellow card to Tomas Lavanini in the 26th minute resulted in back-to-back tries for Australia.
Lavanini was issued marching orders for taking out a Wallabies player in the air during a lineout.
Argentina notched two late tries through reserve prop Thomas Gallo, but it was too little too late.
Before playing Argentina the Wallabies had claimed back-to-back wins against world champions South Africa.
