A long losing streak on the road comes to an end for Argentina. The whistle blows as soon as Folau’s dispossessed ball bounces into touch, and Los Pumas have done it. They rejoice. How close was that?
80:09 Australia have a scrum at halfway, on the right of the field. Nick Phipps to feed it. A minute up his sleeve. Foley releases Beale, who’s nearly through on the left! But brought down. The ball swings back the other way, Folau takes it near the right sideline, he skips one! Skips two! Is tackled nearly the line… and the ball pops free. Foley was unmarked wide of Folau and was right there for the pass, but Folau tried to charge through on his own and the ball jars from his hands in the tackle. So close, so very close.
