Cubelli confident for a win against All Blacks

Cubelli confident for a win against All Blacks
Pumas halfback Tomas Cubelli

Pumas halfback Tomas Cubelli knew from a young age what beating the All Blacks would mean to Argentinian rugby.

His father Alejandro, a 21‑test hooker, was a central figure in a famous Pumas moment when they almost snatched victory on fulltime over New Zealand in 1985.

Argentina are still waiting to beat New Zealand, but have gone close including at the River Plate Stadium in 2001 when Scott Robertson's injury time try saved the All Blacks.

Cubelli who played for the Brumbies this year, is the odd man out in the current Pumas squad as the only overseas‑based player.

The All Blacks will face Argentina at 7.35 tonight while the Wallabies will host the Springboks at 10.05pm.
