Australia coach Joe Schmidt is preparing for another formidable challenge as the Wallabies head to Argentina later this month after suffering consecutive defeats against South Africa in the Rugby Championship's opening rounds. Schmidt's side was handed a 30-12 defeat in Perth on Saturday, following their opening loss against the world champions.
"One of the things about this competition is it's not going to get any easier," Schmidt remarked. "We face three of the four World Cup semi-finalists, and we weren't one of them. The journey to Argentina will be particularly tough."
Argentina has demonstrated their strength by defeating the All Blacks recently, and Schmidt's Wallabies will face them twice in South America. Despite a battling display against a much-changed Springboks side, the Wallabies were ultimately outclassed, with South Africa sealing a comfortable win. Schmidt remains optimistic, emphasizing the team's combative spirit.
