Brace yourselves for another epic showdown as the All Blacks aim to continue their winning streak against Los Pumas in the Rugby Championship. After reclaiming the world number one title with a decisive victory last week, New Zealand is set to face Argentina again. This match, pivotal for both teams, is scheduled to stream live on Sky Sports in the UK and on Flosports in the US, capturing every moment of this high-stakes competition.
The clash is set at the Estadio José Amalfitani in Buenos Aires, promising a fierce battle on Argentine soil where the home team has historically struggled against the Kiwis. Despite Argentina's unyielding efforts, they remain winless at home against New Zealand, with a record of 14 losses in 15 matches. However, their resilient second-half performance in the previous game sparks a glimmer of hope for a historic upset.
"We've made some adjustments and are ready to challenge the rankings,"
said an optimistic member of the Argentine squad, reflecting the team's determination to rewrite history.
On the opposing side, Scott Robertson’s squad is determined to maintain their newly regained top rank. The All Blacks have introduced Simon Parker, marking his debut in an otherwise seasoned lineup. With strategic tweaks and their eyes on the prize, the All Blacks are not taking any chances.
"Our focus is sharp, and we aim to dominate from the kickoff,"
stated All Blacks coach Scott Robertson, signaling a no-compromise approach to the upcoming game.
The teams are lined up as follows:
Argentina: 15 Juan Cruz Mallía, 14 Bautista Delguy, 13 Lucio Cinti, 12 Santiago Chocobares, 11 Mateo Carreras, 10 Tomás Albornoz, 9 Gonzalo García, 8 Joaquín Oviedo, 7 Juan Martin Gonzalez, 6 Pablo Matera, 5 Pedro Rubiolo, 4 Franco Molina, 3 Pedro Delgado, 2 Julián Montoya (c), 1 Mayco Vivas. Replacements: 16 Ignacio Ruiz, 17 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, 18 Joel Sclavi, 19 Guido Petti, 20 Marcos Kremer, 21 Simón Benítez Cruz, 22 Santiago Carreras, 23 Justo Piccardo.
