Off a box kick Juan Imhoff looks to counter, finds a gap in midfield and bursts upfield. A well timed ankle tap from Nonu catches Imhoff as he was about to chip ahead, forcing him to lose control of the ball.

The home side look eager to get on the scoresheet first. This time Nicolas Sanchez attempts a drop at goal from 25m but he never caught it correctly and it sails to the left and wide.

Los Pumas start brightly with an early penalty after Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe was the first to arrive at the breakdown to force the turnover.

After some speculation mid-week, we can confirm Kieran Read will lead out the ABs tonight.

After SA failed to get a bonus point earlier today New Zealand have the chance all but wrap up the Rugby Championship with a 4 try win tonight. New Zealand have notable absentees in Carter and McCaw but Cruden and Cane have proven capable deputies in the past, a testament to the strength in depth in New Zealand.
Despite pushing Australia all the way two weeks ago, Argentina will still feel under pressure to get their first Rugby Championship win under their belt. They will look to attack the All Blacks at the set piece, especially with their powerful scrum. And with their impressive looking backrow they have a great platform from which to launch their attacks.
However we feel that the motivation to reclaim top spot in the Championship will prove too much for the Pumas this evening. All signs point to an AB victory. But the Pumas have always excelled under the title of underdogs so this one is set to be an absolute cracker!
