Argentina had home advantage against Australia in both meetings in the 2024 Rugby Championship. González score the opening try of the 20-19 loss in La Plata and went over in the 67-27 win in Santa Fe.

His tries have come in a variety of ways. In Brisbane he scored from a pick-and-go as was also the case in Santa Fe. In La Plata he scored from a maul. His score in San Juan was from a loose ball following a kick from Juan Cruz Mallía while in Mendoza he finished off a counter-attack involving Mallía and Pablo Matera.
