The All Blacks' clash with Argentina tomorrow night marks the first test in Christchurch for six years. All Blacks coach Ian Foster has stuck with the team that beat the Springboks at Ellis Park for this weekend's test against Argentina, though Beauden Barrett has been ruled out. The All Blacks are taking on a tough Argentina side in Christchurch tonight.

New Zealand fumbled the restart and the ball bobbled to Juan Martin Gonzalez, the London Irish blindside flanker, who looked around and then pulled clear to ...

Do not forget that Argentina turned over New Zealand to win 25-15 in November 2020. Ignite the All Blacks in those areas and they will be a force to be reckoned with in France next year. Their victory in Johannesburg was certainly stirring, and has encouraged New Zealand Rugby sufficiently to confirm that Ian Foster will be head coach until the 2023 World Cup. But even their most ardent supporters will have retained a hint of cynicism on the back of a fraught sequence of five losses in six Tests. Argentina scramble well but concede another scrum penalty. Santiago Carreras sets up a line-out in the All Blacks' 22. New Zealand go wide with slow ball and there's another turnover. It's an archetypal counter-punch from the All Blacks that punishes an Argentina error. He marches beyond Julian Montoya - no easy task - and up to the 22. Jordie Barrett hits the line, carves through and sends Clarke in at the corner. It's a charge from Ardie Savea that gains momentum. Santiago Carreras attempts a dart from first-receiver and coughs up possession.

Argentina is set to play in New Zealand for the first time since 2018. They're one of the best countries in the world in rugby," Chieka said in an interview with Sky Sport's The Breakdown. If All Blacks fans have any hope for the team it is that Schmidt might bring more direction. "You get to go out and be involved in footy every day. The All Blacks will attempt to back up the win over the World Cup champion Springboks in South Africa two weeks ago which made it possible for New Zealand Rugby to throw its backing behind Foster. "He's the coach of New Zealand. "There's plenty of pressure around playing for the All Blacks. Mo'unga also sharpened the All Blacks' attack. Enjoying a new lease on life as Pumas coach, Cheika said Foster also should be enjoying the pressure of coaching the All Blacks. The team has been re-energised by former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and goes into the match on the back of a 48-17 win over Australia. A loss to Argentina is something All Blacks supporters normally would not consider likely. The All Blacks currently languish at fifth place, their lowest-ever world ranking.

Just a week after confirming Ian Foster as their head coach through to the World Cup, the All Blacks are up against with Michael Cheika's Pumas on the cusp of a huge upset. Argentina lead New Zealand 25-18 late in their Rugby Championship Test in ...

But overall, I thought they got away from some stuff at the breakdown and we weren’t able to deal with it.” But a not straight lineout throw from Codie Taylor proved pivotal, with Argentina being awarded a scrum before kicking the ball out to seal the incredible win. He won his first Test as Wallabies coach against the All Blacks in 2015, too. I want them to enjoy being in the team and getting around playing against teams like this.” “First of all congratulations to Argentina,” Foster said. It is just the second time in their history they have beaten the All Blacks.

It's a very special moment for us." It is the All Blacks' second defeat of the Rugby Championship and fourth in their last five matches. The All Blacks have recorded their first home defeat at the hands of Argentina in a 25-18 boilover in Christchurch.

At that point the All Blacks led 15-6, only for referee Amashukeli to hand Pumas wing Emiliano Boffelli a series of shots that he slotted from all over the park. On attack, though, the All Blacks battled to break through the lionhearted Pumas defence that made 195 from 203 tackles. That dominance continued in the second half when the All Blacks replaced their entire front row to inject Fletcher Newell, Codie Taylor and George Bower. While the All Blacks scored two-tries-to-one, any form of clinical finishing deserted them in the closing stages. Yet the All Blacks were expected to embrace their Ellis Park blueprint to springboard into a new, vastly improved era. While the Pumas recorded their maiden victory over the All Blacks two years ago in Australia, they had never previously tasted success in New Zealand.

But on Saturday in Christchurch they were as stupid as Argentina were smart. In rugby union, every millimetre covered by a player matters. The epicentre of decision-making is the breakdown.

But overall, I thought they got away from some stuff at the breakdown and we weren’t able to deal with it.” But a not straight lineout throw from Codie Taylor proved pivotal, with Argentina being awarded a scrum before kicking the ball out to seal the incredible win. He won his first Test as Wallabies coach against the All Blacks in 2015, too. I want them to enjoy being in the team and getting around playing against teams like this.” “First of all congratulations to Argentina,” Foster said. It is just the second time in their history they have beaten the All Blacks.

The All Blacks were beaten 25-18 in Christchurch, only the second time the Pumas have triumphed against them and the first time in New Zealand.

“It certainly felt in the first half that we were a lot more dominant than the scoreboard showed,” said their captain, Sam Cane. Boffelli’s conversion put the Pumas a point ahead and his fifth penalty 13 minutes from time ensured New Zealand would need a converted try just to draw. They also remain top of the standings on points difference ahead of Australia, who earlier [beat South Africa 25-17](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/27/resurgent-wallabies-hammer-world-champion-springboks-in-adelaide) in Adelaide. The Pumas achieved their first ever win over New Zealand two years ago in another championship match in Sydney and Saturday’s victory was cast from the same mould with magnificent defence backed up by iron discipline. “We better be better than we were tonight.” The Pumas put enough pressure on All Blacks lock Scott Barrett to prevent him from taking a clean catch and Martín González snapped up the loose ball, bursting through the tackle of Aaron Smith and racing away to score.

Cosmetic surgery applied to the coaching team has not cured all the All Blacks' ills.

The show of strength was chest-puffing proud, but it needed some creative balance; a touch of pass and catch class. The All Blacks were able to make major, quick territorial gains by winning scrum penalties inside their 22, hoofing it downfield to touch and then driving a maul off the lineout. The performance in Christchurch said that bits of the machine are working. None of it was pretty. Not in a physical sense, but in terms of discipline. The malaise runs much deeper.

Foster struggled to find the answers as to why the All Blacks fell into another dark hole.

Through a lot of our own errors and discipline it was hard to get any sort of momentum." I've also been there when it is and I know how much experience you need to get to that point and how settled a team needs to be." "In South Africa we saw a little bit of that creep into our game which was really positive. Executing in those big moments is what Test rugby is all about." "I was a bit surprised by us in the last quarter. "There were some periods of the game we played really well. I felt the team was moving in a strong direction. "There's no doubt it's a team that's been under a lot of pressure, trying to force things and making things happen. "We're all in the same boat and it does hurt. If you don't be clear and nail the next moment at this level you can be caught and frustrated. The Ellis Park triumph that saved Foster's tenure two weeks ago was supposed to be the starting point of a new dawn. Having now lost six of their past eight Tests dating back to last year's northern tour, Foster was pressed about why the All Blacks can't deliver consistent performances.

The victory gives Argentina successive wins in the Rugby Championship for the first time after their impressive 48-17 thrashing of Australia in San Juan two weeks ago. The boot of winger Emiliano Boffelli, who kicked five penalties, kept them in the contest when New Zealand scored two tries in the first half and kept them ahead after flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez had scored an opportunist second-half try. The Pumas achieved their first ever win over New Zealand just two years ago in another championship match in Sydney and Saturday's victory was from the same mold with magnificent defence backed up by iron discipline.
