The All Blacks secured The Rugby Championship’s trophy with a 34-13 win over Argentina in La Plata. The Pumas have been unable to win a game in the championship to date. New Zealand were missing two key players in Dane Coles and Aaron Cruden, but the team relied on their strong structure and discipline to win the game and the championship with one match to go.

South Africa will be missing two key players due to injury. Number 8 Duane Vermeulen suffered rib cartilage damage in the game against Australia and is likely out of the next game. This is not good news for the Boks, losing one of their key “crunch” men – Vermeulen has developed a reputation for throwing himself in to tackles and halting the opposition’s offence. Springbok speedster and number 8, Bryan Habana, might also be out from a head-knock in the previous game.  

The match will also be de Villiers 50th game for South Africa in the Rugby Championship. 

Dane Coles has rejoined his teammates after the birth of his son. The All Blacks are currently ahead of every other country in IRB standings. The game against Argentina pulled New Zealand to a 4.48-point lead over South Africa, while Australia and England are 3rd and 4th respectively.  

This game might be the closest the world champions will come to facing a defeat. For the All Blacks to equal their record and to retain the status of the most clinical and efficient team on the field, they will need to face the grit of a home side Springboks team. We predict a very close win to the All Blacks by three points.

Coming up against Australia last round, Argentina continued what has become a familiar story for them since joining the Rugby Championship - they were good, but not quite good enough. They maintained a respectable score line going down 32-25, but still they remain without a win since joining the competition.

Heading back to Argentina may provide the Pumas with some added enthusiasm to finally claim that elusive win, but they’ll be playing host to a side who, regardless of where the two sides play, they have never beaten.

The All Blacks enter this game having not lost in their last 21 tests, but that record was on very shaky ground late in their clash against the Springboks last round as they held out for a 14-10 victory. Though the All Blacks could muster just one try against South Africa, this was testament to some stout Springbok defence.

The All Blacks amassed 611 metres with the ball in hand compared to the Springboks 282. They 61% possession and territory, made seven linebreaks, 31 defenders beaten and outnumbered the Springboks for offloads 16-1. Are the Pumas capable of withstanding such an onslaught the way the Springboks did? I don’t believe so.

Much of the lead into this game has focused more on the dropping of fly-half Aaron Cruden rather than the game itself. Failing to make the team flight after a late night drinking session, Cruden will not be making an appearance for the All Blacks in the test matches against Argentina or South African.

Without question Cruden is a classy player, but due to the wealth of talent that the All Blacks possess, the usual cliches about how there star fly-half can’t be replaced do not apply, with a more than ample deputy lurking in the wings in Beauden Barrett.

The 23-year-old has quickly amassed 23 tests, though started just three, and has spent a lot of time in the uncustomary position at fullback. He’s now been afforded a great opportunity to stake his claim as the top number ten in the country. Don’t be lured in by the thought that the All Blacks may be weakened here, Barrett has a full tool shed that he’s very competent in using.

Since joining the Rugby Championship, the Pumas have teased with gritty challenges on the road offering a glimmer of hope of what they could potentially do once they get back to Argentina, only to ultimately prove to be a let down in front of their home crowd.

Since the introduction of the Rugby Championship, the All Blacks trips to Argentina have resulted in victories of 39 and 18. The Pumas have covered a 15.5-point line just once against the All Blacks going back to 2012 when they joined the SANZAR side’s competition, and even that was a 15 point loss.

The All Blacks have proven at this point that they have little regard for whether this game takes place in Argentina or New Zealand, they’re a far superior side, and they make it obvious. Despite the All Blacks being forced to make a few adjustments to their side, I don’t see this one playing out any differently.
