Argentina stunned New Zealand with a 38-30 victory in Wellington, marking their third-ever win against the All Blacks and a dramatic start to the Rugby Championship. The Pumas outscored the All Blacks four tries to three, with key contributions from Lucio Cinti, Mateo Carreras, Franco Molina, and veteran Agustin Creevy. Santiago Carreras added 18 points from penalties and conversions, securing the win. New Zealand, who have now lost six of their last seven games at Sky Stadium, struggled with uncharacteristic errors despite a strong start led by Damian McKenzie. The All Blacks' tries came from Sam Darry, Anton Lienert-Brown, and Mark Tele'a. This defeat highlights the ongoing challenges for New Zealand under new coach Scott Robertson.
