Live blog: All Blacks v Argentina

3rd & 7 37yd

Another free kick.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:17:16 AM
And another scrum. It will be very interesting to see what the ABs have up their sleeves, once they get this ball away.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:17:41 AM
To the left.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:17:53 AM
Williams into the tackle.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:18:00 AM
Away to the right now through Dagg. 10m out.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:18:14 AM
Naholo with great strength. 5m out.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:18:29 AM
TRY ALL BLACKS!

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:19:01 AM
Take a bow, Ma'a Nonu.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:19:06 AM
What incredible strength shown by the centre.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:19:17 AM
There were a couple of nice pick-ups in midfield to continue the move, then it was spread to the left for Nonu. 10m out and four tacklers - no problem.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:19:49 AM
Now Ma'a Nonu scores his 27th test try. Tied with McCaw.

Tough try for Argentina to give up, given the hooter had sounded.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:20:09 AM
Two great surges in the build up there. One from Naholo and one from Dagg. When the ball found Nonu on the wing the Argie defenders both tried to tackle high, and you don't go high on Nonu, he shrugged them off and powered his way to the line.

Carter with another sideline kick.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:20:20 AM
Judged the curve well that time. Nailed it.

Wow, that makes three areas of domination, high ball, scrums and line breaks, crickey the Argies are going to have a really bad second half.

Dan Carter: We’re building pressure...pretty happy to get that try before halftime. nzh.tw/11482781 #nzlvarg

by nzherald Sport via twitter 7/17/2015 8:22:14 AM
18-6 seems like a pretty fair halftime scoreline. The ABs have been good with moments of brilliance. But the Pumas have proved a hard nut to crack defensively, though have been let down by a few poor defensive kicks.

by Steven Holloway 7/17/2015 8:22:55 AM
14 offloads to zero nzh.tw/11482781 #nzlvarg http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKGj9i7VAAEd2fr.png

player of the half;dagg for me.

by blues2015 7/17/2015 8:28:44 AM
Several All Blacks have stood out. Dagg has certainly rebounded in fine fashion from last week, as has SBW. Kieran Read's been typically exemplary while Waisake Naholo will be feeling pretty good about his debut so far.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:29:34 AM
I still think the Argies are going to wear it in the second - nothign I have seen so far makes me believe they have somehting up their sleeves. Clearly the ABs have been just working into a pattern, and the second half they will loosen up a bit and just run the Argies all over the park.

by Sandor_Cleganee 7/17/2015 8:29:55 AM
The teams are back on the field and we're close to a resumption.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:33:01 AM
Offload count: Naholo 3, SBW 3, Piutau 2....Kieran Read 4! nzh.tw/11482781 #NZLvARG http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKGmDrxVEAAsg5F.jpg

Sanchez gets us back underway.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:33:37 AM
Taken by Romano and cleared by Dagg.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:33:45 AM
Argentina run it back to halfway but the ABs win a penalty after Tuculet it pinged for holding on.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:34:09 AM
Good half from the All Blacks, Perenara has been very busy and combined well with Carter. Expect them to push on in 2nd half #NZLvARG

by Henry Rounce via twitter 7/17/2015 8:34:10 AM
Good tackle and recovery from Williams. Silencing a few knockers this week.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:34:31 AM
Carter will have a shot at goal, just inside his own half.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:34:48 AM
Just short.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:35:30 AM
Argentina kick deep.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:35:42 AM
The ABs back on attack and just 10m out after finding space down the left.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:35:54 AM
TRY ALL BLACKS!

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:36:03 AM
Charles Piutau!

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:36:07 AM
Great start to the second half and a great counter after Argentina's drop out.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:36:25 AM
Nicely spread through the hands, nicely set up in the tackle and nicely finished by Piutau.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:36:48 AM
What a start to the second half from the All Blacks. Every player had hands out in front, every player was looking for the offload, every player had perfect hands. As they swung the ball from right to left the try was once again inevitable. That's the ABs at their best.

by Steven Holloway 7/17/2015 8:37:17 AM
Carter with the sideline conversion.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:37:20 AM
Try for Charles Piatau. nzh.tw/11482781 #NZLvARG http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKGnA25UAAApUqX.jpg

Great kick.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:37:40 AM
25-6 straight after halftime.

by Kris Shannon 7/17/2015 8:37:50 AM
Good to score 1st in Second 1/2... A sign of things to come!
