What To Watch For In Argentina vs. All Blacks Round 1
Scott Robertson is still refining key combinations in the second row, back row, halves and centers. Star wing/fullback Will Jordan, who owns 42 tries in 44 tests, headlines a dangerous New Zealand backline. “From No. 1 to 23, the All Blacks are blessed with gifted power athletes, each capable of breaking open a match at a moment’s notice,” Bendon said.
For Argentina, the counterattack remains its greatest strength. Against New Zealand last season in Wellington, Los Pumas scored twice from long range in the first half, exploiting turnovers and loose kicking. Fullback Juan Cruz Mallia, a versatile back with multiple European club titles, is expected to be central to that threat.
Consistency, however, is the challenge. Argentina has struggled to back up big wins, a trend Contepomi’s side must reverse to contend in the Championship. Bendon noted that “starting this year’s Championship with back-to-back home fixtures against the All Blacks presents a golden opportunity… claiming at least one win should be the minimum.”
