Stand‑in All Blacks captain Sam Whitelock is warning his charges to be wary of an ever improving Argentina side, looking for their first‑ever win over New Zealand when the two sides meet in Buenos Aires tomorrow.

With the two sides facing off tomorrow morning, Argentina are targeting a history making win over the All Blacks, who themselves are coming off the back of a loss the last time they played ‑ falling 36‑34 to South Africa in Wellington.

Speaking to media at his side's captain's run, though, Whitelock made it clear that the All Blacks aren't taking Argentina lightly.

Whitelock also warned of the Argentinian dominance at set piece, having already faced the Pumas in Nelson earlier this year.

The All Blacks face Argentina in Buenos Aires at 10.40am  tomorrow morning while Australia will take on South Africa at 3.05am tomorrow in the Rugby Championship.
