• Source: 1968 Wales rugby union tour of Argentina

      • In 1968, the Wales national rugby union team toured Argentina for a series of rugby union matches against Argentine regional and invitational teams, as well as two matches against the Argentina national team.


      History


      The tour also took in five matches against Argentine regional and invitational teams with one test against South Africa. This was the first official Wales tour to the southern hemisphere.
      It was the first Welsh tour in Argentina: before only South Africa, Ireland and France national teams, visited Argentina and South America.
      Despite the fact that the Welsh Rugby Union did not consider them as official, the two matches against Argentina national team were deemed test matches for Argentina.
      It was a big surprise that the "Pumas" won the series with a victory and a draw.
