Steve Tandy’s side are back in action on Saturday night during the second round of Nations Championship fixtures
Don’t pinch yourself – Wales currently sit top of the Nations Championship’s northern hemisphere table after one round of action.
Last week’s win over Fiji in Cardiff moved Steve Tandy’s side top of the new tournament. Heady days indeed for a side that was celebrating just their fourth Test win in 29 matches.
It’s unlikely Wales will remain at the top of the table for long, but they head to San Juan this weekend with a bit of confidence.
As for their opponents, Argentina are looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Scotland in Cordoba – with Gregor Townsend’s side running in seven tries.
Can Wales continue to make progress under Tandy?
