Argentine rugby team beat New Zealand for the first time in history.
Argentina beat New Zealand for the first time in its history, in the 31st meeting between the two teams, in the second round of the Rugby Championship, in Sydney, Australia.
Opening midfielder Nicolas Sanchéz is the new hero of Argentine sport, scoring all points from the Pumas’ first victory over the All Blacks, 25-15.
In addition to having lost for the first time to Argentina, the New Zealanders added the second consecutive defeat, something that had not happened since 2011, after having lost to Australia, at the opening of the Rugby Championship, a test that brings together the strongest teams in the southern hemisphere , this year without South Africa.
Nicolas Sanchéz scored the 25 points of the ‘Pumas’, who at the interval won by 16-3, with a rehearsal, a transformation and six penalties.
Richie Mo’unga (penalty and conversion), Sam Cane (rehearsal) and Caleb Clarke (rehearsal) made the points for New Zealand.
