Didn't have as many opportunities as he would have wanted, but made the most of what came his way. Showed plenty of power.

7/10

13 Matias Orlando:

One really impressive run and a few other darting runs. However, his defence was a major problem.

His footwork caused the All Blacks some trouble and he was solid on defence.

Being used a lot as a ball carrier and was very effective. Also missed only one tackle in a game where the numbers climbed significantly in the second half.

He is the one player that can challenge Beauden Barrett for the title  as the world's best flyhalf.

8/10

Sublime break for the first try and great service. Did his basics well.

Another workhorse in this impressive Argentinean pack – strong carries and solid defence.

7/10

6 Pablo Matera:

Made plenty of hard metres, sometimes just one or two at a time, but kept the momentum going forward.

7/10

5 Matias Alemanno:

The hard work in the close exchanges – especially on defence – was his most valuable asset.

Drifted in and out of the game and had the occasional moment of impact.

5/10

3 Ramiro Herrera:

Had a shocker and did not complete a single tackle.

3/10

2 Agustin Creevy (captain):PLAYER RATINGS: Out of gas

A real workhorse – the diesel in that powerful Argentinean pack. Made plenty of metres with the ball in hand and missed only one tackle.

7/10

Impressive work in the scrums, very powerful carries (making good metres) and made most of his tackles.

7/10

Replacements:

16 Julian Montoya (on for Creevy, 63rd min):

His best work was on defence, while his ball carries were rather ineffective.

Some great cover defence that stopped a certain try, but brought nothing else to the game.

5/10
