In 27 attempts Argentina have never managed to beat the All Blacks. Are they any chance to do so today in Buenos Aires? Join The Roar for live scores from the match, starting from 8:40am AEST.
If the Argentinians wanted to mount a case that they can take their first ever win over the New Zealanders then the form of both teams in the previous round of the Rugby Championship offers them some good reasons to get excited.
Last time around, New Zealand suffered a shock loss to the Springboks at home in a close affair, while Argentina held out for a rousing win on Australian soil over the Wallabies.
Returning home the Pumas will no doubt be chock full of confidence – but the problem for them is that the All Blacks don’t tend to lose twice in a row very often.
While last week’s loss no doubt made them seem a little beatable, it’s hard to imagine this supremely good New Zealand side being in such a funk as to drop two matches back-to-back.
Prediction
All Blacks to get back on the horse with a 15-point win.
