Bautista Delguy of the Pumas thanks the crowd after winning the 2020 Tri-Nations rugby match between the New Zealand All Blacks and the Argentina Los Pumas at Bankwest StadiumArgentina recorded a first win over New Zealand at the 30th time of asking with a 25-15 Tri-Nations tournament victory in Sydney. Nicolas Sanchez scored every point for the Pumas, who led by 13 at half-time and continued to put bodies on the line heroically in the second period. Two more penalties from the Pumas number 10, coupled with their incredible defence, added to the growing feeling history could be on the cards at the break. New All Blacks head coach Ian Foster has now overseen back-to-back defeats for the first time since August 2011 after they lost to Australia in the Tri-Nations last weekend. For Argentina, this victory ends a 35-year wait for a win against New Zealand, with the previous 29 meetings bringing only one draw back in 1985.
