Argentina 24-41 New Zealand: All Blacks hold off Pumas fightback to return to world number one

New Zealand held a fight in the second half to defeat Argentina 41-24 at the opener of the Rugby Championship and return to the top of the world ranking for the first time in four years.

The wing player Sevu Reece and the prostitute Samisoni Taukei’aho, the world’s number one team in Johannesburg, 38-22 defeated by Australia, the world champions of the world champion South Africa has made two experiments for all blacks.

Visitors, Beauden Barrett’s penalty and Reece’s first attempt, Cordoba’da 10-0 ahead in 10 minutes.

Pumas wing player Rodrigo Isgro went to reduce the gap to three points, but Quickfire Ardie Savea put forward New Zealand from Cortez Ratima and Reece again.

After the break, Argentina launched a spirit with a spirit, and Tomas Albornoz strengthened more than 11 minutes after restarting.

When Billy Proctor Sin Bin was sent to Sin Bin, Joaquin’s trial reduced the vulnerability to seven points and a famous return victory increased his hopes.

However, instead of Taukei’aho, the All Blacks closed these hopes in the last 12 minutes to seal his victory.

“We talked about starting well, and I think we did it. We finished the second half quite strongly – there was a little explanation,” the Captain of All Blacks Scott Barrett.

“We were a little slow in the second half, and probably a little discipline fed his games, which was disappointed and allowed him to go behind the crowd.

He continued: “They punched us too much and the men who finished the game can win some arm wrestling, they can get a region, and most importantly, I am pleased to have come with a good win.”

The defeat extends Argentina’s record -free record on the home soil against New Zealand up to 15 matches.

The two sides meet again in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
