Barrett returns to lead All Blacks against Argentina
Scott Barrett has returned from injury to lead the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship opener against Argentina as Scott Robertson reverted to his strongest match-day squad for Saturday's Test in Cordoba. READ | Wallabies back O'Connor at flyhalf to face Boks, opt for 6-2 bench split Barrett missed the last two Tests against France with a calf injury but slots back into the second row alongside Netherlands-born lock Fabian Holland. Robertson picked a number of fringe players in the third Test against France in Hamilton but has shelved experimentation for the Pumas, omitting all the uncapped players in his squad. That sees Finlay Christie named as back-up scrumhalf on the bench instead of Kyle Preston, while Samipeni Finau will offer loose forward cover rather than untried flanker Simon Parker. Your All Blacks team for Test one against Argentina 🤝 — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) August 14, 2025 "We've had a great week of training in Buenos Aires and the group is ready to go out and perform. Scott and our leaders have led from the front and there's a lot of focus and motivation in the group for the start of the campaign," said Robertson. "We know the Pumas identity is a fast and physical game and we've selected a team that will embrace the occasion. "It's been 30 years since the All Blacks played in Córdoba and we are looking forward to the passion and energy of the home crowd." Robertson has stuck with using mobile lock Tupou Vaa'i at blindside flanker, leaving Ardie Savea at number eight and Du'Plessis Kirifi at openside flanker. Billy Proctor remains at centre behind Jordie Barrett, keeping Rieko Ioane on the wing in Robertson's other tactical tweak from the France series. With injuries to Cameron Roigard and Noah Hotham, Cortez Ratima was named starting scrumhalf, partnering with playmaker Beauden Barrett in the halfbacks. Anton Lienert-Brown offers midfield cover in a strong bench also featuring playmaker Damian McKenzie. The All Blacks will look to continue their domination of the Pumas on their home soil, having never lost a test against them in Argentina. The clash kicks off at 23:10 (SA time) on Saturday. New Zealand team: 15 Will Jordan, 14 Sevu Reece, 13 Billy Proctor, 12 Jordie Barrett, 11 Rieko Ioane, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 Cortez Ratima, 8 Ardie Savea, 7 Du'Plessis Kirifi, 6 Tupou Vaa'i, 5 Fabian Holland, 4 Scott Barrett (captain), 3 Fletcher Newell, 2 Codie Taylor, 1 Ethan de Groot Substitutes: 16 Samisoni Taukei'aho, 17 Ollie Norris, 18 Pasilio Tosi, 19 Patrick Tuipulotu, 20 Samipeni Finau, 21 Finlay Christie, 22 Anton Lienert-Brown, 23 Damian McKenzie

Scott Barrett returns to lead All Blacks against Argentina
Captain Scott Barrett returns from injury to lead a strong All Blacks side against Argentina in their opening Rugby Championship clash on Saturday in Cordoba. The 31-year-old lock has recovered from a calf injury and is one of nine changes to the team that finished the series against France in Hamilton in July. New Zealand will be favoured to beat Argentina, but the days when an All Blacks victory over the Pumas was taken for granted are over. Coach Scott Robertson has gone with experience, with Barrett starting alongside Netherlands-born Fabian Holland in the second row. Ardie Savea was picked at No.8 for what will be his 98th Test for the All Blacks and 100th match. Tupou Vaa'i returns after missing the Hamilton win through injury to slot in at blindside flanker and Du'Plessis Kirifi was selected at openside. Cortez Ratima starts at scrumhalf with the returning Beauden Barrett at flyhalf. The bench is also packed with experience, with backs Finlay Christie, Anton Lienert-Brown and Damian McKenzie boasting 172 Test caps between them. "We've had a great week of training in Buenos Aires and the group is ready to go out and perform," Robertson said. "We know the Pumas identity is a fast and physical game and we've selected a team that will embrace the occasion. "It's been 30 years since the All Blacks played in Cordoba and we are looking forward to the passion and energy of the home crowd." Three-time World Cup winners New Zealand won 28 of the first 29 Tests against the South Americans, with the other drawn. But the unpredictable Pumas have won three of 10 internationals between the countries since, two of which came in Christchurch and Wellington. New Zealand warmed up for the Rugby Championship with a hat-trick of home victories over a France side lacking many resting stars, including scrum-half Antoine Dupont. Team v Argentina: Will Jordan; Sevu Reece, Billy Proctor, Jordie Barrett, Rieko Ioane; Beauden Barrett, Cortez Ratima; Ardie Savea, Du'Plessis Kirifi, Tupou Vaa'i; Fabian Holland, Scott Barrett (capt); Fletcher Newell, Codie Taylor, Ethan de Groot Replacements: Samisoni Taukei'aho, Ollie Norris, Pasilio Tosi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Samipeni Finau, Finlay Christie, Anton Lienert-Brown, Damian McKenzie bur-pst/fox
