Well that has rocked the boat! Argentina pull off a huge shock in Wellington. For now, this is Nicholas Friedlander signing out.
Argentina came with passion, and energy, and it was what got them over the line. Pablo Matera was a man possessed, with Kremer and Gonzalez supporting him in a well-functioning loose forward trio. Franco Molina also showed plenty of quality in the second row, showing they are in good hands in that department for the future. The backline was far from perfect, but they took their chances, with a particularly good finish in the first half from Mateo Carreras. They will feel confident of backing this up again next week.
It is now one win in seven at Sky Stadium at the All Blacks, as they again turned in an abject performance in the capital. They continually had chances to pull away, but couldn't and the final blow saw a couple of dreadful passes gift a try to Creevy that ultimately sealed the deal. Damian McKenzie lost total control in the second half, whilst Ethan Blackadder and Dalton Papali'i failed to offer the same sort of quality of their opposites. More positive was the performance of Sam Darry who really took the chance afforded to him on both sides of the ball.
PABLO MATERA AND HIS MEN HAVE KEPT THE WELLINGTON WOES GOING FOR THE ALL BLACKS! Argentina have stunned the rugby world, picking up what was in the end a deserved win. They wanted it more, they dominated the game in the loose, and made the All Blacks pay for their errors. It was fitting Agustin Creevy had the final say, the most inspirational player in their history. WOW.

THE SKY STADIUM CURSE IS GOING TO STRIKE AGAIN! Argentina phased off patiently under the advantage, before going back into the pocket for Albornoz. He hooks a drop goal short out to the right, but it matters little. Carreras is going to have a shot from 30m out in front to surely seal the deal!
