From Patrick McKendry at Wembley:
This wasn't so much a bullet dodged by the All Blacks, but a blue-and-white striped missile.
On a day when history was created - the World Cup's biggest ever crowd of 89,019, the All Blacks prevented two more. They have never before lost a World Cup pool game or a test to Argentina.
And, with both Richie McCaw and Conrad Smith in the sinbin at the end of the first half and Argentina holding a 13-9 lead, a defeat looked a very real possibility.
While Smith saw yellow for a ruck infringement - and it was a close run thing - McCaw isn't likely to be happy with his decision to trip Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe. It brought jeers from the large Pumas contingent in the crowd and contributed to his team playing with 13 men for the remaining 92 seconds of the first half. Not ideal, as coach Steve Hansen might say. -

Gregor Paul from Wembley Stadium: It fell into a predictable pattern in the end, but a nation was left wondering for what would have felt like an interminable period as to whether it ever would.
Argentina were always going to be hard to break down. But they were really hard this time. Worryingly good for periods to rattle the All Blacks and make things way more nerve racking than any Kiwi would have enjoyed. -
Gregor: The All Blacks, as always, will be focused on the obvious improvements they must make, they should still take the time, though, to acknowledge that there was much to admire in the way they held themselves together and were firing pretty close to their best by the final quarter.
