8.Ardie Savea 9/10
Captain Savea led from the front. Big carries and one try gives him a 9 out of 10

Last week Perenara was placed under huge pressure. This week he placed the pressure on Argentina. A great offload to Jordan and excellent kicking from the scrumhalf scorers him a 9/10

McKenzie kicked 100% off the tee and also scored one try. In total he contributed 17 points
11.Caleb Clarke 9/10
The Blues winger scored one try and every time he got the ball he made meters
12.Jordie Barrett 8/10
Can he be the 12 that takes New Zealand to number one in the World Rankings? Barrett has some strong carries and great distribution in the 12 jersey.

Ran a great short line for Jordan to score. Moved to wing when Lienert-Brown came on. Contributed with three turnovers.
14.Will Jordan 9/10
Jordan scored two tries and was a handfull for the Argentinian defence
15.Beauden Barrett 8/10
The fullback entered the attacking line with speed and scored a try. Helped the All Blacks play in the right areas of the field.
Replacements 6/10
How great was it to see Sam Cane back for the All Black. When most of the came on the match was alredy won for the men in Black but the reserves kept the tempo and coach Scott Robertson will be happy with the men off the bench.
Ratima, Lienert-Brown and Teleá made a few great runs keeping the pressure on Argentina
The props would not be happy with the disipline with Aumua receiving a yellow card.
