Despite losing, the Argentinians showed some real talent, none more so that fullback Ignacio Mendy.
The 18-year-old showed searing pace to carve through the defensive line, and then brilliant footwork to evade the onrushing Welsh tacklers to go under the posts.
This was the try:

Argentina are not lacking exciting back three players currently, and Mendy may be another one for years to come.
