Argentina shock All Blacks at start of Rugby Championship
10/8/2024 17:27
Argentina stunned New Zealand with a 38-30 win away in Wellington on Saturday as they outscored the All Blacks four tries to three in a dramatic setback to the hosts' defence of their Rugby Championship title.
It was only a third ever win for the Pumas over New Zealand in 38 meetings as the adventurous spirit of the Argentines prevailed against a ragged-looking All Blacks, who were uncharacteristically error prone.
The lead changed several times before Argentina prevailed in an exciting encounter that was in stark contrast to New Zealand's one sided 44-6 win over the Pumas when they last met in the World Cup semi-final in Paris last October.
