New Zealand are currently unbeaten in 21 Test matches, they are two shy of equalling their own world record of 23 games without defeat. Julian Savea has scored 26 tries in 26 games for New Zealand, including seven in five against Argentina. Only two players have scored more tries against Argentina than Savea (David Campese-9 & John Kirwan-8). New Zealand have the best tackle (89%) and scrum (89%) success rates in this tournament. The All Blacks do however have the worst goal kicking (68%) and ruck success (92%) rates though. Julian Savea has made more metres (347) and clean breaks (7) than any other player in the 2014 Rugby Championship. All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has made the most tackles (54) and won the joint- most turnovers (60) of any player in this tournament. Kieran Read has made more offloads (9) and won more lineouts (18) than any other player in the Rugby Championship this season. Beauden Barrett has 23 caps for New Zealand but just three of these have been starts, and just one has been a start at fly-half. 3 Team Records All-time record Team Matches Won Draw Lost Win % For Against Tries Argentina 384 207 10 167 54% 11141 7398 1456 New Zealand 519 396 19 104 76% 13677 6666 1775 Last 12 months Team Matches Won Draw Lost Win % For Against Tries Argentina 14 3 0 11 21% 331 372 36 New Zealand 14 13 1 0 93% 435 250 49 Head to head Team Matches Won Draw Lost Win % For Against Tries Argentina 19 0 1 18 0% 247 782 102 New Zealand 19 18 1 0 95% 782 247 20 Last five meetings Home Away Score HT Winner Ground Date New Zealand Argentina 28-9 13-6 New Zealand Napier 6/9/14 Argentina New Zealand 15-33 9-11 New Zealand La Plata 28/9/13 New Zealand Argentina 28-13 15-10 New Zealand Hamilton 7/9/13 Argentina New Zealand 15-54 8-32 New Zealand La Plata 29/9/12 New Zealand Argentina 21-5 6-5 New Zealand Wellington 8/9/12 4 2013-14 Results Argentina’s 2013 & 2014 Results Date Opposition Venue Score Result 27/04/2013 Uruguay Montevideo 29-18 Won 01/05/2013 Chile Montevideo 85-10 Won 04/05/2013 Brazil Montevideo 83-0 Won 08/06/2013 England Salta 3-32 Lost 15/06/2013 England Buenos Aires 26-51 Lost 22/06/2013 Georgia San Juan 29-18 Won 17/08/2013 South Africa Johannesburg 13-73 Lost 24/08/2013 South Africa Mendoza 17-22 Lost 07/09/2013 New Zealand Hamilton 13-28 Lost 14/09/2013 Australia Perth 13-14 Lost 28/09/2013 New Zealand La Plata 15-33 Lost 05/10/2013 Australia Rosario 17-54 Lost 09/11/2013 England Twickenham 12-31 Lost 16/11/2013 Wales Millennium Stadium 6-40 Lost 23/11/2013 Italy Rome 19-14 Won 17/05/2014 Uruguay Paysandu 65-9 Won 25/05/2014 Chile Santiago 73-12 Won 07/06/2014 Ireland Resistencia 17-29 Lost 14/06/2014 Ireland Tucuman 17-23 Lost 20/06/2014 Scotland Cordoba 19-21 Lost 16/08/2014 South Africa Pretoria 6-13 Lost 23/08/2014 South Africa Salta 31-33 Lost 6/09/2014 New Zealand Napier 9-28 Lost 13/09/2014 Australia Gold Coast 25-32 Lost 5 New Zealand’s 2013 & 2014 Results Date Opposition Venue Score Result 08-Jun-13 France Auckland 23-13 Won 15-Jun-13 France Christchurch 30-0 Won 22-Jun-13 France New Plymouth 24-9 Won 17-Aug-13 Australia Sydney 29-47 Won 24-Aug-13 Australia Wellington 27-16 Won 07-Sep-13 Argentina Hamilton 28-13 Won 14-Sep-13 South Africa Auckland 29-15 Won 28-Sep-13 Argentina La Plata 15-33 Won 05-Oct-13 South Africa Johannesburg 27-38 Won 19-Oct-13 Australia Dunedin 41-33 Won 02-Nov-13 Japan Tokyo 6-54 Won 09-Nov-13 France Paris 19-26 Won 16-Nov-13 England London 22-30 Won 24-Nov-13 Ireland Dublin 22-24 Won 07-Jun-14 England Auckland 20-15 Won 14-Jun-14 England Dunedin 28-27 Won 21-Jun-14 England Hamilton 36-14 Won 16-Aug-14 Australia Sydney 12-12 Draw 23-Aug-14 Australia Auckland 51-20 Won 6-Sep-14 Argentina Napier 28-9 Won 13-Sep-14 South Africa Wellington 14-10 Won 6 2014 Rugby Championship Fixtures / Results Date Game Venue Time (local) /Score Winner 16/08/2014 Australia v New Zealand Sydney 12-12 Draw 17/08/2014 South Africa v Argentina Pretoria 13-6 South Africa 23/08/2014 New Zealand v Australia Auckland 51-20 New Zealand 24/08/2014 Argentina v South Africa Salta 31-33 South Africa 06/09/2014 New Zealand v Argentina Napier 28-9 New Zealand 06/09/2014 Australia v South Africa Perth 24-23 Australia 13/09/2014 New Zealand v South Africa Wellington 14-10 All Blacks 13/09/2014 Australia v Argentina Gold Coast 32-25 Australia 27/09/2014 Argentina v New Zealand La Plata 7:10 PM -
