All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock says they are aware that Argentina will be an even greater foe when they meet in the Rugby Championship in Buenos Aires next weekend.
The All Blacks have already wrapped up the title after winning their first four games, including a 57‑22 win over the Pumas in Hamilton.
They are going to Argentina without loose forwards Jerome Kaino and Sam Cane and first five Aaron Cruden who are all recovering from injuries.
Matt Todd and Damien McKenzie are travelling as injury replacements for Cane and Cruden while George Moala and Waisake Naholo return from injury.
New Zealand has 20 points in the Rugby Championship from four wins, Australia nine points from two wins, South Africa six from one win and Argentina five from one win.
The Wallabies will play the Springboks at 3.05am next Sunday in the Rugby Championship and the All Blacks play Argentina at 10.10am.
