Emiliano Boffelli - Los Pumas
Boffelli was outstanding for Argentina at key times for the Pumas today.
He converted two long-range penalties for his side and was solid at the back joining the line at right times.
Israel Folau - Wallabies
Folau's performance in this match will be overshadowed by the final minute of the game where he failed to pass the ball to Bernard Foley for what have been a certain try.
However, the 29-year-old, was still fantastic for the Wallabies today making over 80 running metres beating 8 defenders and dotted down for a superb try.
Dane Haylett-Petty - Wallabies
Michael Cheika's decision to leave Dane Haylett-Petty at fullback was widely criticised in the build-up to this match but the Melbourne Rebel repaid Chieka's faith with a strong performance.
He made 74 running metres beating 3 defenders and also scored a try. He looked extremely comfortable throughout but was unable to inspire the Wallabies to victory.
