The meeting between the two will be this Saturday in Disney+ and AM850 2, with the beginning of the transmission from 4 pm, while the Kick-Off will be at 6:10 p.m.

How both selected to the party arriveeither

How they arrive: After the best Rugby Championship in history in which the Pumas first exceeded the three teams in the south in the same tournament, the All Backs visit Argentina to play two consecutive duels in the condition of visitors.

This will be the first time since the Rugby Championship with four nations is played, as of 2012, in which the Neozyland will play two tests in a row in our country. 34 years passed from the old tours of the 1990s, when the All Blacks won the two duels in a row at the Vélez Sarsfield stadium, in 1991.

The Pumas arrive with a July window in which they lost twice against England and then beat Uruguay. The significant fact was the victory against the British & Irish Lions, in Dublin, in the previous British tour of Australia. New Zealand received France in Oceania and won the three matches they played. Those led by Gallthié were with a very alternative team, which gave fight in the first test and then clearly fell to those in Black in the remaining two.

What do they look for: The Pumas want to cut the drought as a local before the All Blacks. On 16 games, the only positive result was the remembered draw of 1985 on the Ferro Carril Oeste court, 21 to 21. The rest were 15 triumphs of the New Zealand. The Pumas, however, won three times in the last four years, with the remembered successes in Parramatta, Christchurch and Wellington.

The great challenge for Los Pumas will be, to the first extent, to be able to beat them for the first time in Argentina. Secondly, to be consistent in the two matches, since after a good performance in the first they always clearly lost a week later. New Zealand is in a training stage, with new faces and some significant absences.

However, they are always the All Blacks, with all their history and power. They arrive as a team that will try to find the way from the arrival of Scott Robertson after the World Cup in France to the technical and strategic direction of the team.

The background: The story marks a wide superiority of the men in black, who won 39 games of the 43 played. The Pumas tied in 1985 in Ferro, 21 to 21 and celebrated in Parramatta, 25-20 in 2020, Christchurch 25-18, in 2022 and Wellington, 38-30, last year. For the Rugby Championship will be the number 24 between them, with 20 victories for the All Blacks and three in favor of the Argentines.

Córdoba awaits the national team for the sixth time in its history, after 11 years without visiting the province (the last duel was against Scotland in 2014). A week later they will play their 40th International Party at the José Amalfitani stadium, the house of Los Pumas as of 1986.
