Overview
- Kickoff is 18:10 local at José Amalfitani, live on ESPN and Disney+ Premium, with Australian Nic Berry refereeing.
- Felipe Contepomi made two changes for Los Pumas: Juan Martín González replaces Marcos Kremer and Mateo Carreras starts for Rodrigo Isgró.
- New Zealand’s only change hands a debut to No. 8 Simon Parker, with Ardie Savea shifting to the flank; Damian McKenzie is listed on the bench.
- After a 41-24 defeat in Córdoba, Argentina emphasized fixes at the set piece, maul defense and late-game discipline during the short turnaround.
- Argentina has never beaten the All Blacks at home, and this is their last Test on Argentine soil this year as future visits are unclear with the Championship set to change format.
