The All Blacks face Los Pumas in a new round of the Rugby Championship, the demanding tournament that also includes the Springboks and the Wallabies, and which takes place in Australia as a result of a change at the last minute as a result of the escalation of cases of coronavirus in the region.
With the memory still fresh of
the historic victory of the Argentines
against New Zealand in November of last year, the objective of those led by Mario Ledesma will be to improve concentration and performance after the two defeats suffered against the best team of the moment, South Africa .

The game
will start at 4.05 in the morning
(Argentine time) at the Cbus Super Stadium, located in Gold Coast, and television is paid by ESPN and the Star + platform, with a preview of the kick off and the subsequent analysis of the match. .
Facing the colossi of the southern hemisphere is a challenge that Argentines have adapted to over the years.
And second place in the 2020 edition of the Tri Nations, with the victory against All Blacks and the draws with Australia are proof of this.
However,
that sporting merit collided with an internal crisis
that went through Los Pumas, a product of the scandal around the expressions on Twitter of some of its members.

The key to the game against the All Blacks will be to prevent the intensity of the defensive game from being translated into indiscipline, something that was decisive in the last presentation against the Springboks,
when 21 penalties were committed
.
On the other hand, beating New Zealand for the first time in history meant taking off a backpack that weighed heavily in these types of matches.
"They are not unbeatable, that is present in the minds of the boys," acknowledged the coach.
