Match Commentary

83'
83'Well it looked like the All Blacks would run away with that one, but the Pumas managed to pull the game back and put the pressure on the Kiwi side. But it wasn't enough with the Argentina side unable to convert their massive amount of possession and territory in the middle of the second half into any points. They'll definitely be disappointed with their inability to get over the line after earning up to five penalties within the All Blacks' 22.
83'But the Pumas runner is pulled into touch and that's the ball game.
82'We're two minutes into overtime and the Pumas have a scrumm penalty 10m from the All Blacks' line.
81'+317-36 End of second half
79'The All Backs defence is just getting sliced apart in the midfield but they manage to steal the ball at the back of the ruck and stop the Pumas attack for now.
78'17-36 Conversion - Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias , Argentina
77'TRY TIME! What was that! A crazy bounce from a cross field kick has got the better of Damian McKenzie and Tuculet picks up the loose ball and dives over in the corner.

75'Some frenetic play from both sides then with the possession swapping between the teams, but the All Blacks give away another penalty within their own half.
73'But they've lost it forward metres from the line.
71'Argentina lucky not to have a man sent to the bin then, cynical neck roll on Ardie Savea and the All Blacks are on the hunt for their fifth try.
71'The All Blacks are on the attack again and Julian Savea looks like he's gone over. But he's lost the ball over the line.

68'After all that pressure and all those penalties, the Pumas have given the ball away and given the All Blacks the penalty! That was a long phase of time on the All Blacks line to come away with nothing.
66'Another penalty against the All Blacks! That's nine penalties now.
66'Substitute on - Juan Manuel Leguizamon , Argentina
66'Player substituted - Pablo Matera , Argentina

62'20 minutes to go and the Pumas have all the possession and all the territory but still trail 10-36.
61'New Zealand are giving away plenty of penalties in their half and are again defending a scrum on the five metre line right in front of their posts.
61'Where has this Pumas team been all night! That was a fantastic movement from the Pumas to make their way up the field and put all the pressure back onto the All Blacks. They're now just metres from the All Blacks line with a penalty.
60'Penalty to the Pumas just metres out from the All Blacks' line.
58'Substitute on - Leonardo Senatore , Argentina
58'Player substituted - Matias Alemanno , Argentina

57'TRY TIME! The Pumas are finally over! The Pumas were able to push the All Blacks back over their line and Facundo Isa went over.
57'The Pumas have another penalty. Still five metres out in front of the posts. That's five penalties to the All Blacks in the last five minutes, they'll have to be careful or a second player could be sent to the bin.
57'Player substituted - Martin Landajo , Argentina
57'Substitute on - Tomas Cubelli , Argentina
53'Substitute on - Lucas Noguera , Argentina
53'Player substituted - Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro , Argentina

52'What a break from Santiago Cordero and Joaquin Tuculet, but Argentina drop the ball over the line and are denied their first try! Lucky they had the advantage and have the penalty inside the All Blacks' half.
52'Player substituted - Liam Squire , New Zealand
52'Substitute on - Wyatt Crockett , New Zealand
52'Yellow card - Joe Moody , New Zealand
51'

49'Player substituted - Ryan Crotty , New Zealand
49'Substitute on - Damian McKenzie , New Zealand
48'Substitute on - Sam Whitelock , New Zealand
48'Player substituted - Brodie Retallick , New Zealand
46'Not even 50mins into the game and the All Blacks have made their first replacement with Brodie Retallick coming from the field.
46'New Zealand's support play is just phenomenal, they just have players lining up to take the ball. Half the team will have a try by the end of the game!
46'3-36 Conversion - Beauden Barrett , New Zealand
45'TRY TIME! Lienert-Brown is so impressive tonight. Flicks it inside to Ben Smith as he's falling out and Smith is over for the All Blacks' fifth try of the night.
45'3-34 Try - Ben Smith , New Zealand
44'That's seven handling errors to Argentina to New Zealand's two. The Pumas will really need to stem those errors if they hope to slow the All Blacks.
42'The poor handling continues into the second half with the Pumas on the attack early, but Facundo Isa just took his eyes off the ball and the All Blacks get the first scrum of the second half.
41'And we're back for the second half! Can the Pumas turn their game around? Or will it be a blowout in Buenos Aires?
41'The All Blacks will definitely be happy with their performance at the end of that half. But the Pumas will have a lot to think about as they head into the second half. It's looking like it could be a blowout in Buenos Aires if the Argentinians don't start to convert their possession.
41'But Barrett pushes the kick wide. You don't see that too often! The All Blacks head into the break 3-29.
41'+13-29 End of first half
41'3-29 Try - TJ Perenara , New Zealand
40'3-29 Start of second half
40'3-24 Conversion - Beauden Barrett , New Zealand
39'TRY TIME! What a try! It doesn't get much better or easier for the All Blacks. Ryan Crotty just cut straight through the Pumas' defence floated the pass into Ben Smith and again the All Blacks are lining up for the ball and this time it's TJ Perenara who claims the spoils.
39'Barret is on fire tonight. Doesn't even look like missing and it's now 3-24.
39'TRY TIME! The All Blacks are in for a third! Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias goes for a quick kick infield but it's charged down and there's All Blacks players lining up to go over, but it's Dane Coles who goes over.
39'3-22 Try - Dane Coles , New Zealand
37'3-17 Conversion - Beauden Barrett , New Zealand
36'Beauden Barrett slots the extras and suddenly it's 3-17 minutes from the break.
35'TRY TIME! Terrible lineout from Argentina five metres from their line and it's seen the All Blacks steal the ball spread it wide and Ryan Crotty was over.
35'3-15 Try - Ryan Crotty , New Zealand
34'Israel Dagg looks to have gone over in the corner, but he's just pushed out into touch.
34'3-10 Penalty goal - Nicolas Sanchez , Argentina
33'Nicolas Sanchez converts the penalty and Argentina are on the board 3-10 with only seven minutes left in the half.
32'It's a good scrum from the Argentinians and they are awarded a penalty inside the All Blacks' 22m.
31'Bad mistake from Ben Smith. He's kicked it way too long and it's gone dead. The Pumas now have a scrum on the All Blacks 22m, giving them the perfect opportunity to hit back before the break.
29'0-10 Conversion - Beauden Barrett , New Zealand
28'TRY TIME! The All Blacks are rewarded for their continued pressure on the Pumas' defence. The forwards drew in the defence with some pick and goes metres from the line before the All Blacks spread it and Anton Lienert-Brown scores his first test try.
28'0-8 Try - Anton Lienert-Brown , New Zealand
27'Beauden Barrett is driven back about 10m in the tackle! But the Pumas give away another offside penalty and are marched 10m down field and are just 5m from their line now. The All Blacks are backing their scrum here and are definitely aiming for a pushover.
24'And the All Blacks take the scrum about 15m out from the Pumas try line.
20'Penalty to the All Blacks right in front. Julian Savea made a huge break down the sideline and the All Blacks moved the ball centre field, but the Pumas defence managed to hang in there.
20'We're 20 minutes into the first half and it's still 0-3 to the All Blacks with the Pumas struggling to convert their possession into points.
18'Another Pumas break! And another Pumas mistake in the All Blacks half.
18'The Pumas have seen plenty of possession and getting into the All Blacks half, but are yet to see any rewards for their hard work.
17'Big call from Jaco Peyper. The Pumas were on the run in the All Blacks half as the All Blacks scrambled to stop their break, but TJ Perenara ripped the ball from the Pumas hands and the All Blacks are awarded the scrum for a knock on on their 22.
15'Quick hands from the All Blacks as they make their way into the Pumas territory, but the Pumas get the penalty with Pablo Matera over the ball and getting the penalty.
13'The Pumas were messy in attack as they tried to punch through the All Blacks defence, but knock the ball on and the All Blacks get the feed inside their half.
11'The All Blacks win the lineout but they can't get the ball out from the maul and the Pumas are awarded the scrum feed on the All Blacks 22m.
10'It's high tempo and the Pumas scramble quickly within their own half and see there's no one home in the All Blacks half and get the ball bouncing out on the 22m inside the All Blacks half.
3'0-3 Penalty goal - Beauden Barrett , New Zealand
1'A penalty against the All Blacks relieves the pressure on the Pumas who get their first line out of the match on the half way.
1'Beauden Barrett kick passes to Israel Dagg in his own half which falls favourably for the All Blacks and sees them make their way into the Pumas half, but a knock on gives the Pumas the feed.
1'The Pumas put the ball into the scrum just inside their own half, giving them their first attacking opportunity and they kick it down field for an All Blacks line out 10 metres into the All Blacks half.
1'The All Blacks had plenty of ball moving it side to side, but a forward pass will see the first scrum of the game.
1'Beauden Barrett converts and we're just two minutes in and the All Blacks have their first points.
1'The Pumas clear it out and the All Blacks have the first line out. And it's a penalty early to the All Blacks right out in front of the posts.
1'
1'And New Zealand kick off.
1'Always plenty of feeling from the All Blacks, how will the Pumas respond?
1'Time for the haka!
1'The sides are on the field for the anthem, just minutes until the game kicks off. Can anyone beat the All Blacks?
