Show Preview
The All Blacks may have returned to their winning ways in South Africa, but nothing short of a comfortable pair of wins over Argentina on home soil will have Ian Foster sitting more comfortably at the helm. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:45pm (AEST).
The All Blacks’ gutsy win over the Springboks in Johannesburg lifted some of the pressure off the under-fire team and coach, and with four matches to come against the Pumas and Wallabies, are a strong chance to bounce back and lift yet another Rugby Championship title.
The injured Beauden Barrett is the only change to the side that took down the reigning world champions, allowing Foster a settled team to tackle the rest of the tournament.
Los Pumas have begun life under Michael Cheika in style with a series win over Scotland and a storming triumph over the Wallabies, but facing a series of games on the road, things are about to get a whole lot tougher.
Argentina have won just once over the All Blacks in their history – a 25-15 triumph in Sydney in late 2020 – and a victory in Christchurch would probably be this nation’s greatest ever.
