Argentina have spent two weeks in quarantine reflecting on recent losses to South Africa and focusing on discipline ahead of tonight's Rugby Championship Test against the All Blacks.

The Pumas lost to the Springboks 32-12 and 29-10 in Rugby Championship Tests in South Africa before flying to Australia where they have had to isolate for 14 days before continuing the tournament.

In total, 30 of the 61 points Argentina conceded against South Africa came from penalties - five in each match - and captain Julian Montoya believes better discipline will be vital against the All Blacks, who are well-equipped to punish lapses.

Argentina will play the All Blacks at 7.05 tonight while Australia will play South Africa at 10.05 tonight.
