Argentina takes confidence into their final U20 Rugby Championship match against Australia, having just shocked New Zealand with a decisive 27-15 win. Historically, both teams have been evenly matched, but Australia have struggled in the current tournament, remaining winless after losses to South Africa and New Zealand. Argentina are tipped to cover a narrow +1.5 handicap in what promises to be a competitive fixture, buoyed by recent form and their track record against Australia.

Argentina vs Australia U20 Predictions

Argentina caused an upset victory in their previous match and have had success against Australia in recent clashes. Australia are winless in this edition of the U20 Rugby Championship.

  • Argentina defeated New Zealand in the last match.
  • Argentina have won 2 of their last 3 matches against Australia.  
  • Australia are winless in this edition of the U20 Rugby Championship. 
  • Australia have lost 3 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.

Head to Head


Argentina and Australia each have four victories apiece in eight meetings. 

Argentina lost 40-36 to Australia at the 2025 U20 Rugby Championship. 

Argentina U20 Form 


Argentina pulled off a shock victory over New Zealand in the U20 Rugby Championship last weekend, winning 27-15 after leading 15-12 at half-time. 

Before that result, Argentina had no answer to South Africa in their opening match, losing 48-21 after trailing 36-0 at the break.

Argentina are third in the 2026 U20 Rugby Championship standings with five points from two games. 

Argentina will start confidently against Australia in their final fixture after their recent triumph over New Zealand, and they have defeated their opponents in two of their last three matches.

Australia U20 Form 


Australia were outplayed in their U20 Rugby Championship match against South Africa last weekend, losing 56-17 to the host nation after trailing 28-12 at the break. 

Before that disappointing result, Australia came up short in their opening match against New Zealand, losing 34-29 after leading 24-12 at half-time. 

Australia are last in the 2026 U20 Rugby Championship table with two points from two games. 

Australia have yet to get going in this year's competition, but they will look to end on a high when they take on Argentina, having defeated their opponents last year.
