Romania were on fire in the second half and looked ready to pull a surprise on their opponent. A try by Eugen Capatina, and a successful penalty by Melinte leveled the score to 17-17. However, substitute Juan Martin Gonzalez scored the winner on his debut to give the win for Argentina.
Romania are supposed to meet Scotland next week but that match has been cancelled due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the Scottish camp. Argentina will travel to Cardiff for two test matches against Wales.
