The All Blacks responded to their recent loss with a powerful victory over Argentina, winning 42-10 at Eden Park.
This triumph allowed them to maintain their 30-year unbeaten streak at the Auckland stadium, extending it to 50 matches. The All Blacks’ strong first half, where they scored five tries, set the stage for their decisive win.
Under the leadership of coach Scott Robertson, the All Blacks showed significant improvements. They took advantage of handling errors by the Pumas and executed well-planned moves, such as chip kicks and strong forward plays, to dominate the match. By halftime, they led 35-3, leaving little doubt about the outcome.
The match also highlighted key performances, with Will Jordan scoring two tries in his first test since shoulder surgery and Ardie Savea standing out with his aggressive running. Although the Pumas managed to score one try, they couldn’t match the All Blacks’ intensity or strategy.
This victory provides some relief for the All Blacks after their earlier setback, but with upcoming tests against world champions South Africa, tougher challenges lie ahead.
