19 mins: The Argentina restart is phenomenal, bouncing into touch near the right corner. New Zealand execute a solid defensive lineout and set up a strong maul that looks to be rolling them out of trouble, but the Pumas regroup, get hands on the ball in contact, and earn a scrum feed 10m out.
Finally Argentina get theirs hands on the ball in New Zealand territory, securing lineout ball then driving through the middle – but a couple of phases in they drop a simple pass and the All Blacks flood forward like horror movie villains. A superb kick into the left corner sends the Pumas skidding backwards on their heels and in no time there’s a turnover. Again there’s space in the right corner to exploit and B Barrett kicks in that direction but it’s a tad heavy and J Barrett can’t complete the mark that would have led to a certain try.
Not to worry. The referee brings the game back to an earlier infringement and Mo’unga dabs over a simple three-pointer from under the posts.
