    You feel Argentina need to get more on the board soon.

    Couple of thunderous carries in those phases got Argentina within five metres.

    This handling from both teams is exceptional, after heavy rain. 20 minutes in, no scrum. Kudos.

    Santiago Carreras turns New Zealand around with a neat little grubber.

    Facundo Isa also returns to the field with a bandage on his head.

    So some positives finally for the Pumas.

    Captain Sam Cane finally makes an error with a knock-on. We have a first scrum.

    Who said the rain would stop New Zealand playing?

    The big hand of Sam Whitelock stops that Argentina attack from the line-out. The lock is looking like an inspired selection by Ian Foster.

    The hard part for Argentina is they have to be so committed at the clear-out as they have guys like Sam Cane looking for the turnover.

    You can go in so committed that you go beyond the ruck and it is an easy penalty to give away.

    The Pumas have had plenty of the ball but the New Zealand defence just won't budge.

    However, Scott Barrett is pinged and Argentina fire the ball deep into the New Zealand half.

    How good is Sam Cane? People doubted the New Zealand captain but he gets in to force the turnover.

    Since that Ireland game he is arguably in a World XV at 7!

    Coast to coast, Argentina were attacking, but this is New Zealand at their very best, Mark Tele'a with the turnover.

    New Zealand went all the away into Argentina's 22 and it was the offloading creating momentum. As they switched from the midfield the props, locks, centres and wingers all with perfect timings off the pass for Jordie Barrett to finish it off.

    Another one!

    You feel already this could be a long night for Argentina. The skills are perfect from every All Black.

    Sam Whitelock again pops up to link well with the backs.

    Jordie Barrett once he gets the ball with a bit of space, there was only one outcome.

    All started at the front of the maul, got it moving nicely but Argentina regrouped really well.

    Aaron Smith bounced away and a couple of digs from Ardie Savea and Codie Taylor. But when they unleashed it to the backline that's when the rhythm came.

    That man again - try number six in the competition as he draws level with Damian Penaud.

    Sam Whitelock provides a magic moment with some soft hands to link with the backline.

    The ball goes wide and Will Jordan does what he does.

    Richie Mo'unga bangs over the extras.

    Accuracy is so good for Argentina, the line-out execution was perfect. It was nice at the back of the line-out, taken down by Juan Martin Gonzalez.

    Forced the All Blacks onto their heels, they look up for this big time Argentina.
