Here’s a quick rundown of the player performances:

🔸 Tom Rogers (5/10) made a notable break, setting up a try yet found it difficult against Argentina’s speedy wingers.
🔸 Max Llewellyn (5/10) stood firm in defence and showed good distribution skills.
🔸 Ben Thomas (4/10) struggled, earning a yellow card and throwing a pass that resulted in an interception try.
🔸 Josh Adams (5/10) had a hard time against Argentina’s back three, delivering a few aimless kicks.
🔸 Dan Edwards (6/10) displayed potential with some promising kicks and a remarkable 60-metre break.
🔸 Tomos Williams (7/10) gave an outstanding performance, consistently threatening with the ball and managing to score the opening try.
