Argentina vs New Zealand Predictions
Argentina will want to bounce back after a very average showing last weekend. They are certainly better than what they showed. I am backing the hosts to get within the 10.5 handicap, and I will not write off a Los Pumas win.

Head to Head
Argentina have beaten New Zealand three times since 2022 but none of those have come at home. They have still never beaten the All Blacks on home soil. Last weekend, New Zealand won 41-24 in Cordoba.
Argentina Form
Argentina will be looking for vast improvement from last weekend against the All Blacks. The inconsistency in Los Pumas camp has to be sorted out if they want to regularly beat top sides.
Last Saturday, Argentina started poorly, allowing New Zealand to build a healthy and match-winning half-time lead. The hosts returned after the break, playing much better and got within a score of the All Blacks before the visitors ran away with it to win 41-24.
Argentina certainly didn’t put their best foot forward and if the second half is anything to go by, this weekend should be a lot tighter.
Argentina Team News
Argentina have a few injury concerns and may also make a change or two to their side after a lackluster first half last weekend.
New Zealand Form
New Zealand have returned to the top of the world rankings after South Africa’s loss last weekend and their win. They comfortably saw off Argentina 41-24.
That makes it five straight wins for the All Blacks, stretching back to their November tour in 2024. Their last defeat came against France away on 16 November.
While this All Blacks side is far from the all-conquering team from a decade ago, they deserve their No.1 ranking. On Saturday past, there were some concerning elements, particularly in the second half as Argentina clawed their way back into the game.
New Zealand Team News
Codie Taylor will make his 100th test appearance on Saturday. The backline remains unchanged while Simon Parker starts at the back of the scrum.
Verdict
Argentina are backed in the +10.5 handicap with a win not out of their reach.
