England continue their winning run, Wales grind out a narrow win over Argentina and Scotland lost to Australia late on. Here we look at the major talking points from another week of the Autumn Internationals.<\/p>\n

Argentina<\/h4>\n

It took the Pumas far too long for them to impose themselves on the game against Wales. They were poor in the first half and it required Wales to score for them to up their game. They came into the autumn battle-hardened following a Rugby Championship campaign and a big victory over Japan, but they never really got going in Cardiff. They have to learn to dictate games at their tempo, as opposed to the slower nature of northern hemisphere sides.<\/p>\n

Australia<\/h4>\n

Australia were far from perfect against Scotland and if they play like that again this autumn, they won\u2019t emerge on the winning side. They look dangerous with the ball and Bernard Foley put in another good performance, but they were poor when they weren\u2019t in possession. The lineout has been flaky all year and they\u2019ve struggled to recreate the form that saw them reach the World Cup final. They should have been a lot better, after their impressive performance against Wales the week before.<\/p>\n
