The Wallabies have scrummaged their way to a 16-10 Rugby Championship victory over Argentina, with halfback Will Genia calling the shots in his Brisbane Test farewell.

The retiring Queensland favourite, with the Melbourne Rebels, handed Australia just their fifth win from the past 17 Tests and was cheered off on Saturday night after his 60 minutes at Suncorp Stadium.

Argentina replied to Reece Hodge’s first-half try with six minutes to play to make it a six-point game, but the hosts controlled the ball from then on to secure some winning form three games out from September’s World Cup.
