Twickenham is the stage for the final Rugby Championship encounter of 2016 with Argentina opting to take their home game against Australia to London. The two sides met at the same venue almost 12 months ago, the Wallabies triumphing 29-15 despite a lack of possession and territory - and an astonishing 18 clean breaks by the Pumas.Unfortunately, finishing continues to be a problem for Argentina. Daniel Hourcades side have again been able to open up defences in this years Rugby Championship but still lack the final punch to hurt teams on the scoreboard. Out of the game by halftime in Buenos Aires last week, the Pumas were camped inside the All Blacks 22 for long periods of the second-half, yet still had to grind away to score two tries - even with New Zealand twice down a man.Australia, meanwhile, missed a golden opportunity to break their Pretoria hoodoo. Some superb early rugby resulted in a try to Scott Sio before the anxiety and simple errors - lost lineouts included - of past performances this season crept back into the Wallabies game. Ultimately, Springboks ace Morne Steyn booted them off the paddock at Loftus as the frustration also saw Australias discipline deteriorate.Team NewsArgentina:Pumas five-eighth Nicolas Sanchez and winger Manuel Montero must pass last-minute fitness tests if theyre to take to the paddock at Twickenham.

Isa leads the Rugby Championship for total runs and trails only All Blacks winger Julian Savea for metres gained [361] while he is the only forward to feature in the top 10 for the latter category, and sits inside the top five for three more [offloads, defenders beaten and clean breaks] which shows the gaping hole Senatore must fill this weekend. Nine years Isas senior and with 39 caps to boot, Senatore certainly has the Pumas regular No.8 covered for experience. But he will need to have an almighty game if the Pumas are to triumph, such have been Isas contributions throughout the tournament.Timani, meanwhile, will be making his first run-on start at Test level. A part of Wallabies conversations for the last few years, Timani was originally let go by Cheika at the Waratahs - the coach dissatisfied with the forwards work-rate. Used at both lock and No.8 by Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby, Timani has since answered Cheikas concerns and has built himself into an old-school No.8 the like the Wallabies havent seen for some time. Just how he fits into a trio more accustomed to playing on the ball will be intriguing.Key stats- This will be the ninth time Argentina have played at Twickenham (L6, D1, W1), the last time they played there was against Australia in the semifinal of the 2015 World Cup.- Australia (80%) are the only team to have a lineout success rate below 90% in this tournament, on average they have lost 2.6 throws per game.- Michael Hooper (61) has made 10 more tackles than any other player in the competition after five weeks, conversely the three players to miss the most tackles are all Australian too (Foley 14, Haylett-Petty 13, Mumm 11).WeatherLondon is expecting a rather showery weekend with only intermittent periods of sunshine. The Saturday evening kick-off will be cool, with a low of around 8 degrees.UBET verdict: Argentina $3.42, Australia $1.32.The Wallabies and Pumas will both be seeking redemption when the Rugby Championship rolls into Twickenham this weekend. The Australians went down 18-10 to the Springboks in Pretoria, while the all-conquering All Blacks proved too much for the Pumas in Buenos Aires, running out 36-17 winners. Despite last weekends loss, the Australians are firm favourites at $1.32 with UBET, while punters believe the task may be too big for the Pumas, who are $3.42. Perhaps Australia -7.5 on the line at $1.90 is the better value in this fixture?VerdictIt has been a largely miserable Test season for both these nations but its Australia who have at least shown signs of recent improvement. The Wallabies may not have picked up the win in Pretoria, but a quality first 20 minutes should give enough confidence to push for victory at Twickenham - an achievement they managed on four occasions during last years World Cup. The Pumas, too, enjoyed success during that tournament, but they are without a win in three matches and have yet to really uncover a killer attacking framework.Australia by 10. Fake China Jerseys .
