Argentina Form, Team News and Lineup
Argentina finished third behind New Zealand in last year's tournament, with only two points separating them. Los Pumas warmed up for the Rugby Championship with four matches by beating the British and Irish Lions in Dublin but then lost two home internationals to a second-string England team. In their final warm-up game before the Championship opener, Argentina delivered a resounding 52-17 victory over Uruguay. One major issue about the Pumas is that they lack consistency, having lost four of their last six matches.
Los Pumas Lineup:
15 Juan Cruz Mallía, 14 Rodrigo Isgró, 13 Lucio Cinti, 12 Santiago Chocobares, 11 Bautista Delguy, 10 Tomás Albornoz, 9 Gonzalo García, 8 Joaquín Oviedo, 7 Marcos Kremer, 6 Pablo Matera, 5 Pedro Rubiolo, 4 Franco Molina, 3 Pedro Delgado, 2 Julián Montoya (c), 1 Mayco Vivas
Replacements: 16 Ignacio Ruiz, 17 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, 18 Joel Sclavi, 19 Guido Petti, 20 Juan Martín González, 21 Simón Benítez Cruz, 22 Santiago Carreras, 23 Justo Piccardo.
New Zealand Form, Team News and Lineup
The All Blacks will be hoping to reclaim the Rugby Championship Trophy from the Springboks after losing last year's Rugby Championship to South Africa by eight points. New Zealand will come into this year's championship on the back of an impressive run of form, having produced nine wins in their last ten games, the only loss being away to France last year. Their preparation has been solid, highlighted by three consecutive wins over France in the July Tests. However, the team faces a setback as veteran scrum-half Cameron Roigard has been ruled out due to a stress fracture. This unexpected challenge will require the coach to rethink his strategy ahead of the opening clash against Argentina.
All Blacks Lineup:
15 Will Jordan, 14 Sevu Reece, 13 Billy Proctor, 12 Jordie Barrett, 11 Rieko Ioane, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 Cortez Ratima, 8 Ardie Savea, 7 Du'Plessis Kirifi, 6 Tupou Vaa'i, 5 Fabian Holland, 4 Scott Barrett (c), 3 Fletcher Newell, 2 Codie Taylor, 1 Ethan de Groot
Replacements: 16 Samisoni Taukei'aho, 17 Ollie Norris, 18 Pasilio Tosi, 19 Patrick Tuipulotu, 20 Samipeni Finau, 21 Finlay Christie, 22 Anton Lienert-Brown, 23 Damian McKenzie
