New Zealand battled past a committed Argentina side to eventually ground out a 21-5 Rugby Championship victory at a rain-soaked Westpac Stadium last night.
The world champion All Blacks, number one in the world and undefeated since beating France in the Rugby World Cup final last year, were hanging on the ropes for three quarters of the match until two quick-fire tries secured a hard-fought win.
Meanwhile, the Wallabies bagged their first win in the Rugby Championship after seeing off South Africa 26-19 at Perth’s Paterson’s Stadium.
