Overview

• Played at Vélez in round two of the Rugby Championship, the win is Argentina’s fourth over New Zealand overall and their first on Argentine soil.
• Juan Martín González and Gonzalo García scored for the hosts as New Zealand were shown three yellow cards to Will Jordan, Tupou Vaa'i and Sevu Reece.
• Fly-half Tomás Albornoz left early with a dislocated left pinky and underwent surgery, paving the way for Carreras’ decisive performance.

• A crowd estimated between 35,000 and 37,000 witnessed the milestone on a night that also served as Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro’s international farewell.
