Argentina Posts Its First Home Win over New Zealand to Create a Tight Rugby Championship

Argentina's Pumas secured a historic 29-23 victory against New Zealand's All Blacks, benefiting from New Zealand's three yellow cards and disciplined play, marking their first home win in 16 attempts.

  • Argentina Pumas recorded a maiden home win over New Zealand All Blacks on Saturday in Buenos Aires, marking their first victory over them at home after 16 attempts.
  • The All Blacks' indiscipline cost them, conceding three yellow cards that left them defending with 13 men and undermined their chances against Argentina Pumas on Saturday.
  • Using possession dominance, Argentina converted pressure into points through Santiago Carreras' three second-half penalties, including a long-range kick, and Gonzalo Garcia's first Test try after Pablo Matera's charge.
  • Despite Argentina's win, Damian McKenzie's late penalty gave New Zealand a bonus point and kept them top of the Rugby Championship standings after two rounds.
  • The win adds to Argentina Pumas' recent run, marking their third victory over the All Blacks in four Rugby Championship editions and sending home fans into delirium.
