All Blacks channel defeat ‘hurt’ in bid to tame Pumas

Author: AFP

All Blacks captain Ardie Savea said Friday his New Zealand team has spent the week “looking in the mirror” as they chase revenge against Argentina in The Rugby Championship.

Victory over the Pumas on Saturday would reverse last week’s shock 38-30 defeat in Wellington and chalk up a 50th win for the All Blacks at Auckland’s Eden Park since New Zealand last lost there in 1994.

Savea batted away questions about the 30-year unbeaten run, saying distractions played a part in their defeat last week, only their third loss to the Pumas in 38 meetings.
