Wayne Pivac has targeted areas for improvement after Wales were held to a draw by 14-man Argentina at the Principality Stadium. The Pumas full-back Juan Cruz Mallía was sent off for a dangerous high challenge on Wales scrum-half Kieran Hardy after 29 minutes. But Argentina led until 10 minutes from the end before they were undone by the substitute scrum-half Tomos Williams’ try that his fellow replacement Jarrod Evans converted, although Evans missed a long-range penalty to win the match during the closing seconds, with the game finishing 20-20. “We are disappointed with the opportunities we gave the Argentinians,” Pivac said. “It was disappointing to give them some ins with lapses in discipline at times, which gave them the territory. “The errors just kept creeping into our game throughout that second half. We would have a good passage of play and then let them off the hook again. That was frustrating. “But to come back from 20-6 [behind] and have a chance to win it at the end … we will take that and it sets us up for next weekend, when we will be trying to clinch a series.” Wales tackle Argentina again in seven days’ time, with both teams reflecting on a first draw in 19 meetings between the countries. “It is being disciplined, learning from the errors – and some of them were pretty basic, which was disappointing,” Wales’s head coach added. On Evans’ late match-winning chance, Pivac said: “Goal-kickers know their range and if they are second-guessing whether they have the range, then they should go to the corner, build pressure and look to get a closer penalty or score. But at that stage he felt he could kick it from that distance. He had the opportunity to win the game and it was probably half a metre shy of doing that.” Evans added the extras to lock Will Rowlands’ touchdown, while Callum Sheedy kicked two penalties, with the flanker Pablo Matera and centre Jerónimo de la Fuente scoring tries for Argentina as Nicolás Sánchez booted two penalties and two conversions. Given that Wales were minus 10 players on British and Irish Lions duty in South Africa, it was a battling display against a team that beat New Zealand and drew twice with Australia last year. But there will also be a sense of frustration that they could not capitalise on Argentina’s indiscipline, while they struggled at times in the scrums. And they will also need health checks on a number of players, with the No 8 Aaron Wainwright and centre Willis Halaholo both going off injured.
