In challenging conditions, after heavy rain throughout the day, the All Blacks scored five first-half tries to put the result to bed by halftime. From an individual standpoint Will Jordan, in his first test start since shoulder surgery, delivered an immediate reminder of his class by proving a constant threat. Ardie Savea with his carrying, Tupou Vaa'i, in Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu's absence, impressed and Tamaiti Williams, other than one scrum penalty, nailed his starting elevation. Beauden Barrett slotted into first five-eighths for the final half-an-hour to reignite the debate about whether he or McKenzie should start there. Inside him, Cortez Ratima once again injected speed from the base. All Blacks v Argentina referee Frenchman Pierre Brousset is in charge of the test. His only previous All Blacks match was last year's 29-11 win over Italy in Turin. The only time he's been in charge of an Argentina test was the 67-27 home win over Australia last September. He most recently was referee for the British and Irish Lions win over the Brumbies.
