    Don't think the All Blacks have done too much different this week, the bounce of the ball just went their way early and they've kicked on.

      ABs have been good but Argentina have been absolutely dire, they simply cannot hold onto the ball or build any pressure at all. Stark contrast from last week.

        We've been more urgent. Higher intensity in all phases. We were flat last week.

          I'm hoping this mirrors Razor's start with the Crusaders. IIRC they were very ordinary at the start of the season before hitting their stride.

            Their intensity and collisions are night and day. So they nothing different in that, apart from being effective

              I just wish he'd work on that bloody basic two on one pass!

                That first half is a fairly comprehensive redemption story. Now to maintain the rage for the second half.

                  Referee is excellent. No mucking about with TMO, clear communication and not a single decision you can unequivocally say is wrong.

                    Argentina made they most of last week's win it appears

                    Seriously, NZ playing much better but I think Argentina have a Championship plan.

                    They know they can't go week after week so I think they're focusing on peaking against OZ.

                    3 wins in the Championship will be a huge season for them.

                        ABs thrive in wet weather attacking. Causes the defence to give that extra moment.

                        Wet weather normally rewards the side with better technique. Players getting into the right body positions that split moment sooner.

                        Hats off to all the junior coaches up and down New Zealand who drilled the fundamentals of how to play footy into these players from an early age.

                          Just watching the try highlights, it’s like watching the Warriors defend against the All Blacks tonight.

                            That and the accuracy in this weather is a beautiful thing to watch.

                            Now to destroy the Argentinian confidence by doing the same for another 40mins.

                              Some of these law changes working well

                              Not straight only on contested throws

                              1 stoppage mauls

                              Keep the game moving

                                  That was the sort of half of rugby we were all hoping for when Robertson was given the AB's gig.

                                  Chapeau and more of the same please.

                                    Tamaiti adds a real point of difference. Something ABs need

                                      If this half is what happens when the players do as they've been coached...
