How Los Pumas and New Zealand came to be in the Rugby Championship rivalry
In their final test match of 2022, Los Pumas fell to Scotland 52-29 at Murrayfield Stadium. It was a match marked by the lack of discipline of Argentina’s players, as the national team played more than half of a game with a man less due to the dismissal of Marcos Kremer.
Also in November last year, the All Blacks drew 25-25 in the Autumn Nations Series friendly played at Twickenham Stadium in London. The British team, trailing 3-17 at halftime, began a well-deserved equalizer with a late arreón and three tries in the last eight minutes.
