Commentary
80’
Full Time
FULL TIME: NEW ZEALAND 30-38 ARGENTINA
Argentina have powered back with a strong second half and claimed a fantastic win. The All Blacks got all the calls from the referee but their own errors cost them dearly. Argentina did well to play to their strengths and stay composed and clinch the win.
79’
Penalty
PENALTY, ARGENTINA, CARRERAS, 30-38:
Carreras kicks the goal and this could be history in the making.
77’
Commentary
Argentina have advantage in midfield and they try a drop which falls short. They call for the shot at goal with the penalty kick.
76’
Commentary
Momentum swings again as the All Blacks win the penalty on defence and find touch close to halfway. However, it swings again as the Pumas get the lineout ball.
75’
Commentary
Argentina win the breakdown penalty and switch play back into the All Blacks half. They feed the lineout and maul up.
74’
Commentary
Savea pulls off a timely turnover and the All Blacks can counter. Albornoz kicks straight out after he gathers a kick. New Zealand have the attacking lineout ten inside the Pumas half.
72’
Commentary
The scrum penalty goes the way of Argentina and play needs to be stopped for Matera to get a fresh set of boots.
71’
Commentary
The Pumas scramble it clear but then the All Blacks feed a lineout skew and cough up a scrum to Argentina on the Pumas 22.

65’
Commentary
McKenzie probes for the 50/22 but just misses it and Argentina have a lineout close to the 22.
64’
Commentary
The scrum is messy and needs to be reset. Should have been a free kick to Argentina the first time but they get the short arm eventually.
63’
Commentary
The All Blacks are over to score but the TMO has a call to come in that there was a blatant forward pass which the referee should have seen in real time. Argentina have a scrum on their own 22.
61’
Commentary
New Zealand knock on in attack and Argentina escape this time after a poor dropout was charged down.
59’
Commentary

49’
Commentary
Argentina will get a penalty after a TMO review which has confused the referee who doesn't seem to understand why the TMO has pulled up the referral. Eventually Gardner gives the penalty.
48’
Commentary
New Zealand go to the safety of touch after this restart and Argentina get the ball into a lineout and away to their backs. Malia drills a kick into the corner and the All Blacks need to secure the lineout ball five out.

40’
Half Time

Penalty
PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, MCKENZIE, 3-0:
McKenzie kicks the goal for the lead.
11’
Commentary
It isn't great at lineout time from the Pumas as they cough up a penalty due to some poor timing. Argentina think they are away after an intercept but it comes back for a penalty to New Zealand. Argentina get a lecture.
10’
Commentary
Argentina win a crucial penalty on defence this time and that ends the attack for the time being. The Pumas have the lineout feed just outside their own 22.

The All Blacks swarm now and Reece is just prevented from getting in at the corner. The New Zealanders have another penalty and set up a lineout five out.
