Argentina had too much pace, power and guile for Wales, whose defence was again desperate but sometimes lacking in first-up tackling.<\/p>\n
“There’s a lot of lessons in there for us,” said Tandy. <\/p>\n
“Coming away from home we need to be a bit more accurate and Argentina probably dominated the physicality.<\/p>\n
“It’s something we definitely need to look at. We fell off a few tackles in the first half and that creates momentum which is hard to wrestle back.\u201d<\/p>\n
A quick look at the match stats again demonstrate how dominant Wales’ opponents were at times.<\/p>\n
Argentina made 458 metres in attack, with 15 clean breaks and 31 defenders beaten compared to Wales managing just 209 metres, three clean breaks and 15 defenders beaten.<\/p>\n
Wales\u2019 attack is more methodical with their three tries scored by front-row forwards Dewi Lake, Ben Warren and Rhys Carre – who scored for the fifth time in six internationals with a well-worked try.<\/p>\n
Getting over the gain line was a major issue for Wales in San Juan and the offensive game against the Pumas was more pedestrian than their opponents.<\/p>\n
The jury is still out on the Wales midfield with Scarlets trio Sam Costelow, Joe Hawkins and Eddie James chosen this weekend. <\/p>\n
Wales’ main threat comes from the driving line-out and it was only in the final quarter that the attack threatened to demonstrate any fluidity.<\/p>\n
Wales flanker Jac Morgan was again the pick of the bunch in San Juan with 23 tackles, impressive turnover and one second-half burst highlighting his all-round influence. <\/p>\n
Exeter back-rower Kane James was prominent as a second-half replacement winning his first cap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
