New Zealand begin this year's Rugby Championship with a trip to Argentina. The All-Blacks finished second behind South Africa in last year's tournament ending a run of three consecutive titles. Will the Pumas get a home victory? Read our match prediction.
Only two points separated these nations last year. New Zealand won three of their six games but lost the same number. Argentina also had that record but the All-Blacks earned two more bonus points to finish second but eight behind South Africa.
The two games played between these sides in last year's Rugby Championship were shared. Both matches were played in New Zealand. The All-Blacks will want to continue the form that has produced nine wins in their last ten games, the only loss being away to France last year.
Argentina have played 14 home games against New Zealand. They are yet to win a match with a draw in 1985 their best result, They beat the British & Irish Lions recently but then lost two home internationals to a second-string England team before beating Uruguay.
The Pumas lack consistency and have lost four of their last six matches.
We tip New Zealand to win this and lead at both half and full time.

Our Argentina vs New Zealand Prediction
Argentina would love to earn a frst ever home win over New Zealand. They did win an away game in last year's Rugby Championship but don't look to be in that kind of form at present. Recent games have seen a lack of consistency, topped by two home losses to a weakened England line-up.
New Zealand have only lost to France in their last ten matches and regularly make a strong start to their games. Our Argentina v New Zealand prediction is New Zealand to win and lead at half and full time.
