Wallabies prepare for high-altitude Test against Argentina

The Australian Wallabies are preparing for a Test match against Argentina at Estadio 23 de Agosto in San Salvador de Jujuy. The team is bracing for a challenging environment characterized by high altitude, with the venue sitting at 1,259 meters above sea level, and a highly intense crowd.

Flyhalf Ben Donaldson noted the passionate atmosphere of Argentine supporters and acknowledged previous instances of crowd interference, such as the use of lasers during matches. Donaldson, who has experience playing in the region, stated the team is prepared to embrace the difficult conditions. The Wallabies aim to improve upon their 2024 visit to the country, where they suffered a 67-27 defeat against the world No. 7 ranked Pumas.
