World No. 1 New Zealand battle seventh-ranked Argentina again in the 2025 Rugby Championship round two fixture on Saturday at Estadio José Amalfitani in Buenos Aires. The All Blacks won the first leg in Cordoba and will look to complete a 2-0 sweep over the Pumas. Check out our prediction for the match below.
Argentina kicked off their 2025 Rugby Championship campaign on a disappointing note, collapsing to a 17-point defeat against New Zealand in the first leg in Cordoba. They won the second half 14-10, but a 21-point first-half deficit had already put the game beyond the hosts.
Felipe Contepomi's side will look to bounce back with a stronger performance on Saturday. However, the defeat in Cordoba marked their third in four matches and they have lost five of their last six encounters with New Zealand by double-digit margins.
New Zealand are in top shape heading into this match. The win in Cordoba marked their fifth straight victory, four of which by 10+ points. They have also won six of their last seven away matches, including each of their last four away fixtures against Argentina by 17+ points. Hence, our prediction for the match.
