Wayne Barnes has been at the center of attention. He sent Argentina's Pablo Matera to the bin after 15 mins for a professional foul, then Richie McCaw and Conrad Smith say yellow for New Zealand later in the half. But with 13 men New Zealand earned a late penalty to reduce Argentina's lead to one point at halftime.

Just a pretty poor 40 minutes from the All Blacks. Two senior players sent to the bin for the All Blacks in McCaw and Conrad Smith, the Smith decision probably a bit harsh. The All Blacks have been trying to build some structure but Argentina haven't allowed them to with some quick and strong defence. Can Argentina keep up with that pace for the second half? That's the big question. Argentina also might look back on the decision to take a shot a goal when Smith went to the big. New Zealand were down to 13 men then and it was a great chance for Argentina to cross over for a second time. They would have had an 8-on-7 scrum with an extra man out wide. Instead they got the three points and the All Blacks went down the other end to kick a penalty of their own.
