Australia rout with Argentina in Mendonza

Australia beat Argentina 34-9 in Mendoza for their second successive Rugby Championship win.

Australia made it two wins from two in the 2015 Rugby Championship with a convincing 34-9 victory over Argentina in Mendoza.

Little could separate both sides for the opening 16 minutes, but Joe Tomane crossed over to open up a five-point lead, with Bernard Foley failing with the conversion.

Nicolas Sanchez added two penalties, either side of one from Foley, as the Aussies led 8-6 going into the break.

Two more penalties for Australia after the interval opened up an eight-point gap, before tries from Dean Mumm and Tevita Kuridrani effectively sealed the victory.

However, there was still time for Adam Ashley-Cooper to touch down in the dying stages as Michael Cheika's side added gloss to the scoreline.
