Steve Hansen won't be lingering long over the highlights reel from the All Blacks' Rugby Championship opener. Some post-Super Rugby rust and unfamiliar combinations robbed a forgettable encounter in Buenos Aires of continuity and sustained excitement. 5: There was nothing flash about Ngani Laumape's 17th minute try, but it gave the All Blacks the lead for the first time. Natacha Pisarenko New Zealand's All Blacks Ben Smith is tackled by Argentina's Ramiro Moyano close to the try-line. Marcelo Endelli Emiliano Boffelli, pictured kicking a long-range penalty, scored a try after beating Ben Smith in an aerial duel.
