FULL TIME: NEW ZEALAND 18-25 ARGENTINA
Argentina have done it, their first win over the All Blacks has thrown the Rugby Championship wide open.
Oh dear, the All Blacks go to the lineout and the throw is skew giving the Pumas a defensive scrum. Time is now running out and this scrum could very well be the last play of the game with Argentina players down onthe ground.
New Zealand attack with advantage but their urgency cannot force a break of the Pumas line. Argentina are winning all the physical battles and every inch of territory is being fought over.
Argentina steal the lineout but the hack clear doesn't go very far and New Zealand will try again from another lineout. The hosts are running out of ideas to break down the Pumas defence which appears to grow stronger as the hooter approaches.
Argentina are penalised at the scrum and the All Blacks set up a lineout 21 metres out from the Pumas line.
The scrum goes down and has to be reset but not before the front rows get into a heated discussion.
The Pumas defence holds on and the All Blacks lose it forward just inside the Argentina half where play will resume with a Pumas scrum.

TRY, NEW ZEALAND, CLARKE, 15-6: New Zealand really finding some momentum now. Taukei'aho is fast to react as a lineout throw is too long. Quick hands get the ball to Jordie Barrett. He's into the gap and soon sets Clarke down the left touchline. No tacklers can stop him. Over he goes. Great bit of attacking rugby, that. Mo'unga finds his line again, this time from wide of left. Seven-pointer as the All Blacks more than double their lead after being behind earlier.

PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, MO'UNGA, 8-6: Mo'unga gets another go from the tee after another penalty. Argentina didn't release at the ruck. Mo'unga gets this one right. NZ take the lead by one point.
The teams effectively trade penalties. The ABs are dominant at the scrum, forcing their opposition to infringe. But a minute or so later Scott Barrett is in trouble for entering the ruck at the side.
Loose pass out the back from Lavanini and Carreras runs past it. Moroni has to retreat to tidy up and does a good job of clearing into touch outside the All Blacks 22.
Wayward pass from Lavanini. Carreras darts straight past the throw. Moroni cleans up and clears. Argentina are just outside the All Blacks' 22 again.
PENALTY, ARGENTINA, BOFFELLI, 5-6: A maul is set after the lineout. Bertranou has to use, but no. The ref signals advantage and, a couple of phases down the line, the ball is knocked on. Back for the penalty and there is a sharp word about discipline from Cane. Amashukeli not taking any nonsense. Boffelli is right under the posts for this one. It sails through.
Argentina putting a lot of work into trying to snatch NZ's lineout, but can't, for now. But they do capitalise as Ioane can't keep the ball in hand and they quickly counter. The result is ultimately hand in the ruck from the All Blacks. Carreras puts in touch from about 10 metres out.
All Blacks going through their gears nicely here. Looking promising.
TRY, NEW ZEALAND, TAUKEI'AHO, 5-3: It's Barrett who nabs the lineout throw and gets big support from the forwards. Taukei'aho is at hand for the transfer and the momentum takes one and all involved over the line. For the conversion, Mo'unga misses again. This one was from the touchline, so perhaps fans will be a bit more forgiving.
PENALTY, ARGENTINA, BOFFELLI, 0-3: The All Blacks missed their chance for the opening points, but Argentina do not. NZ are off after a few mid-field phases. Bofelli is spot on from the tee from 40 metres away and just right of in front.
Argentina make an error on the restart that hands the impetus to New Zealand
A shoddy pass from Carreras gives NZ the initial advantage. Smith's pace helps that early impetus, too. Argentina's obvious infringement means a possible three for Mo'unga. The kick isn't good enough - hangs left from about 40 metres out.
Here's the kick-off. Let's look forward to a cracking contest.
