Argentina will be the home side for the double-header and Los Pumas will be hoping to secure another victory over New Zealand after shocking the All Blacks in last year’s Rugby Championship.
On their day Argentina are capable of beating anybody and despite two defeats to England they did secure an impressive victory over the British and Irish Lions in Dublin earlier this year.
The All Blacks are ranked second in the world and will be hoping for a 21st Rugby Championship victory after finishing second last year. Led by Scott Robertson, they brushed aside a weakened French side in a three-game series last time out and will be hoping for two wins on Argentinian soil in this year’s tournament.
