Australia beat Argentina 34-9 in the Rugby Championship on Saturday, scoring two late tries to take a bonus point and setting up a likely title decider against the All Blacks in two weeks.

Centre Tevita Kuridrani and winger Adam Ashley-Cooper both touched down in the last three minutes to give the Wallabies a four-try bonus at the end of a match in which they often struggled to break down the Pumas' defence.

Australia led from the 17th minute when winger Joe Tomane scored its opening try, but struggled to maintain a disciplined attack until breaking the game open at the very end.

The Wallabies also face injury concerns after losing centre Matt Toomua and prop James Slipper to concussions.
