Newcastle Falcons pair Pedro Rubiolo and Eduardo Bello both featured for Argentina on Saturday as Australia snatched a 20-19 away win with the final kick of the game.

A last-minute penalty in front of the posts denied the Pumas victory in the Rugby Championship clash in La Plata.

Rubiolo started in the second row but departed early after sustaining a head knock while making a tackle.

Bello came on as a half-time replacement at tight-head prop, with a keenly-contested game decided by the very last kick.

The two teams meet again on Saturday in Santa Fe, with the 8pm kick-off being shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.
