Add article description

In rugby union, the first meeting between Argentina and Wales took place in 1968, when they played two matches as part of a Welsh tour of Argentina; however, only Argentina awarded full caps for the two matches. Argentina won the first match 9–5 and the second was drawn 9–9. They met again in Cardiff in 1976, when Wales won 20–19. The first match for which both teams awarded full caps was in 1991, in the pool stage of the 1991 Rugby World Cup, when Wales won 16–7. Since then, the two teams have met a total of 22 times; Wales hold the upper hand with 14 wins to Argentina's 7, with 1 match drawn. The most recent test between the two sides was Argentina's win over Wales 29–17 in the 2023 Rugby World Cup Quarter Final 1.
