Argentina easily defeated Australia 67–27 on Saturday, handing them their worst loss in 125 Test matches.
It was their third loss in four games in the Rugby Championship this year, and it came after a terrible pool-stage elimination at the Rugby World Cup the previous year.
When questioned about the team’s progress prior to the Lions’ June arrival in Australia, Waugh responded, “You can see the progress is there,” to the Sydney Morning Herald, external.
Although it is not quite where we need it to be, there is still plenty of time if we continue to go forward at the rate we have over the past six months.”
Waugh feels that during new head coach Joe Schmidt’s first six months in command, the team’s improvements were overshadowed by the dramatic score against the Pumas.
Australia, who had won against Argentina the previous week, had a 20-3 lead in Santa Fe but gave up in the second half.
Additionally, they trailed 30-12 against South Africa, the world champions, by just two points at the half of their August meeting.
The group is re-establishing itself, and while I detest the term’re-building,’ it requires experiences in significant.
