The All Blacks will go in to their Rugby Championship Round Five clash with Argentina as overwhelming favourites.

In Round Three, the All Blacks won 39‑22 in New Plymouth.

It was an admirable display from los Pumas, who actually led 16‑15 at half‑time.

But expect the All Blacks to be less merciful this time around after their magnificent display against the Springboks a fortnight ago.

The All Blacks are undefeated in 25 previous encounters with the Pumas and have won 23 on the bounce since a 21‑all draw in 1985.

The All Blacks are on target to break the record they set last year for points and tries in an edition of the Rugby Championship.

Coach Steve Hansen is sticking with his squad rotation policy and has made six changes to his starting line up.

Crusaders utility back David Havili is set to make his Test debut after he was named on the bench.

The All Blacks will take on Argentina at 10.40am tomorrow while the Wallabies will take on the Springboks at 3.05am.
