New Zealand had to defend their line for the final stages of the match, but Argentina failed to break the black wall and grab their first ever win over the All Blacks.
The All Blacks outscored the home side three tries to one, with Leon MacDonald, Dan Carter and Scott Hamilton crossing over, but conceded too many penalties gifting Argentina's first-five eighth Federico Todeschini with eight penalty attempts.
Luckily for the visitors Todeschini only converted half of those attempts. A better day with the boot could have meant a different result for New Zealand.
Argentina opened the scoring in the fifth minute with a Todeschini penalty before Dan Carter got New Zealand on the board three minutes later with a penalty making it 3-3.
The All Blacks scored the opening try of the match in the 11th minute when the backs had their first chance to spread the ball wide.
Rico Gear made a run down the right hand touchline before passing inside to Isaia Toeava who was tackled 10 metres short of the line. But from the ensuing maul, Leon MacDonald snuck down the blindside to score in the corner.
We can whip ass when we want to, I think we'd be able to beat a team blind folded, intoxicated and both arms tied behind our backs and still have time after the game to take on the rest of the world.............Well thats a bit ominous.............well what dya expect, the ALL BLACKS rule Rugby.....Fabotastic Kiwi Magic !!!
To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so.
