The All Blacks team is launched.

New Zealand received South Africa. A few hours after the Springboks’ success in Pretoria against Australia, the All Blacks enjoyed crushing Argentina on the turf at Malvinas Argentinas Stadium in Mendoza. A meeting whose fate could have been completely different if the first action had ended differently. Lining up in the opener, Damian McKenzie was tackled by Pablo Matera on his first clearance of a punt. However, he managed to recover to flatten his own goal against two Argentine players.

After these complicated first moments, Ian Foster’s players put their game to rest and the Pumas were unable to follow through. From the fifth minute, after a breakthrough by RIeko Ioane, Dane Coles was able to provide the necessary support to become queen. Four minutes later, Ardie Savea added to the bill after a collective action. Before the end of the first quarter of the hour, Jordy Barrett went on to score the third New Zealand try after overrunning passes with his brother Bowden.

In the second match time after a scrum came out, Rico Ewan forced the pass into the Argentine defensive curtain to flatten the fourth attempt.

Shortly before returning to the locker room, Aaron Smith invited himself to the party, finding a fault in the Puma’s defensive positioning after a fumbled ball. While Damian McKenzie increased the All Blacks’ advantage to 31 points at the break, Rodrigo Bruni left the turf for ten minutes because he collapsed the batter in the action.
