Yes it will! Sonny Bill Williams with a flick from the back of his hand as he absorbs a bone-crunching tackle but Nehe Milner-Skudder handles the ball as if it's covered with nails and that's a try-scoring opportunity missed. Conrad Smith screams despairingly on the sidelines. 

A significant change to the All Black backline as Sonny Bill Williams replaces Ma'a Nonu. Will the multi-talented Williams' off-loading in the tackle add another dimension to the All Black play? 

Argentina edge the attacking stats with more metres covered (Arg 228 NZ 181) and most importantly the game's only try.

The world champions have also been forced to make more tackles (Arg 51 NZ 61).

New Zealand have kept the scoreboard ticking over thanks to the amount of penalties Argentina have conceded shown by the black circles, not ideal when your opponents have Dan Carter.

The world record points scorer has ensured he has punished the Puma's ill discipline with four kicks from four. 

The All Blacks have conceded half as many, show by the white circles, but two of those resulted in Richie McCaw and Conrad Smith sent to the sin bin.

"If any team can keep the passion going, it's Argentina. They are one of the two seeded team in this pool, so they deserve respect - and New Zealand have shown respect with the strength of the side they've picked."

Argentina still have a man advantage after Conrad Smith's sin-binning so they must take advantage of that and they're trying to. Nicholas Sanchez with a cute chip over the defence, and there's an All Blacks offside - so the outside-half will have a shot in front of the posts. 

Argentina, the would-be All Black slayers receive a raucous reception as they return to the field. Thirty men on the pitch? One referee?  Yep. Let's get going.

"New Zealand haven't played at their best. They've probably conceded a few too many turnovers at the breakdown by getting isolated. There's plenty to work on.

"I think Argentina will be very encouraged by their first-half performance. They have given the ball away a little too much, and they need to tighten up on that or they will tire and start shipping points in the last 20 minutes."

New Zealand edged possession in the first half but that will be of scant consolation to them after a half where they let a nine-point lead slip and had two players sent to the sin bin.

That is not the scoreline which many of us would have predicted, especially after New Zealand attacked at breakneck speed in the first 10 minutes. But Argentina's defence held firm and they showed plenty of endeavour during that half, too.

"That was silly from the Pumas. The All Blacks were looking to wind down the clock and maybe get a penalty. They were never going to score a try with 13 men. Argentina have played right into their hands. New Zealand can go into the changing room with a little positivity."

A few whistles can be heard as Dan Carter lines up to take his penalty. Argentina concede a penalty at the death and the All Blacks reduce deficit to a point.
