The All Blacks have beaten Argentina 36‑17 in their Rugby Championship Test, scoring five tries to two.

Anton Lienert‑Brown opened the try‑scoring on the 28th minute mark, followed by tries to Ryan Crotty, Dane Coles and TJ Perenara before half‑time, when New Zealand led 29‑3.

Ben Smith scored the All Blacks' fifth and final try five minutes after the break, then the Pumas dominated as Facundo Isa and Joaquín Tuculet scored the hosts' two tries.

Damien McKenzie made his Test debut around 10 minutes after the break.

The All Blacks had already wrapped up the Rugby Championship before kickoff.

It's the team's 16th straight victory.

Meanwhile, Australia's search for a maiden test win at Loftus continues after a 18‑10 defeat to South Africa.

All of South Africa's points came from the boot of recalled five‑eighth Morne Steyn, who kicked four penalties, two drop goals and expertly steered his team to victory.
