After two games, just a couple of points separate the four countries taking part in this year's Rugby Championship. Australia are second in the table and this weekend host Argentina who are bottom but just a point behind their opponents. Can the Wallabies win at home? Here's our match prediction.

New Zealand lead the table by one point with all four countries having won and lost one of their opening two fixtures. Australia began their campaign with a 38-22 away win against South Africa. Next though, they lost 30-22, again playing the Springboks away.

The Wallabies now have two home games against the Pumas. They have won 16 of their 21 home games against Argentina but been beaten by them in three of their last four meetings, including one at home in the 2023 Rugby Championship.

Argentina prop up the table and are a couple of points behind leaders New Zealand. So far they have lost 41-24 at home to the All-Blacks but avenged that with a 29-23 victory over them on August 23.

They lost two of their three away games in last year's Rugby Championship. Three of their last five international fixtures have ended in defeat, including two at home against a weakened England side. We tip Australia to win and lead at half and full time.
