Australia defeat Argentina to maintain unbeaten start for coach Kiss

Aug 29 : Tom Hooper scored a crucial second half try in a superb all-round display as Australia defeated a young Argentina side 27-21 in the opening match of their two-test tour in San Salvador de Jujuy on Saturday.Australia won the forward battle with the dynamic Hooper and back row teammates Fraser McReight and number eight Rob Valetini giving the visitors the ascendancy as new coach Les Kiss was able to celebrate a third successive win since taking over.It was his most impressive against a largely inexperienced but energetic Argentina who had run world champions South Africa close earlier in the month and thrive on chaos.Australia scored four tries through hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa, flyhalf Carter Gordon, McReight and Hooper and took their chances, mixed with some scrambling defence.
