AFP: Australia set up a Rugby Championship title decider with New Zealand next month after two late tries completed a 34-9 triumph over Argentina in Mendoza Saturday.

The Wallabies led 8-6 at half-time and pulled away in the second half for a victory that left them level on nine points with the All Blacks ahead of an August 8 Sydney showdown.

After struggling for an hour to translate plentiful possession and territory into points, Australia snatched a four-try bonus point with two in the final three minutes.

Earlier Saturday in Johannesburg, a clever late try from skipper Richie McCaw off a line-out manouevre helped New Zealand defeat South Africa 27-20.

Australia trooped off at half-time wondering why they were only two points ahead against the Pumas after attacking relentlessly while restricting Argentina to a few brief spells of superiority.
