Gonzalo shines as Pumas stun All Blacks

28/08/2022

Dragons RFC scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou started as Argentina beat the All Blacks for the first time in New Zealand to move top of the Rugby Championship.

Winger Emiliano Boffelli kicked 20 points as the Pumas won 25-18 in Christchurch. The Pumas triumphed over the All Blacks two years ago in Sydney in another Rugby Championship match.

The All Blacks had led 15-6 early on thanks to tries from Samisoni Taukei'aho and Caleb Clarke and, after going in at the break 15-12 ahead, Richie Mo'unga's second penalty extended their lead.

But Boffelli's boot kept the Pumas in the game and flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez scored an opportunist second-half try.

New Zealand's ill-discipline throughout the match cost them dearly and they played the last nine minutes with 14 men after a yellow card for Shannon Frizell as they suffered a sixth loss in their past eight Tests.
