Akira Ioane will start at No 6 for the All Blacks against Argentina.

The All Blacks were outplayed by the Pumas in Sydney, giving the South American side their first victory over the three-time World Cup winners. The coach, however, chose to largely keep faith with the side that were humbled by the Pumas with Akira Ioane, Scott Barrett and Nepo Laulala the only changes to the starting side. The All Blacks can seize the advantage in the Tri-Nations if they beat the Pumas with a bonus point.
