The All Blacks competed another Rugby Championship win in Buenos Aires today, beating Argentina 36-10. They’d actually already won the title earlier thanks to the Wallabies and Springboks drawing 27-all in Bloemfontein.

It was the first half that did it for the All Blacks, with four tries coming courtesy of Kieran Read with two, and then one each to Damian McKenzie and Waisake Naholo.
Read and Naholo’s efforts were long range affairs, with some slick passing by the All Black backs.
McKenzie’s was a piece of clever thinking, taking a quick tap off a Pumas infringement at a scrum under the posts.
After halftime the Pumas enjoyed a brief resurgence that saw them score through Juan Leguizamon. That brought the 50,000 strong crowd to its feet, however from then on the game devolved into a error ridden display.
The All Blacks very much looked in cruise control as they emptied their bench, and didn’t add to their halftime score until debutant David Havili scored on the last play of the game.
They now head to Cape Town to play the Springboks next weekend.
