The pressure is very much back on under-fire All Blacks head coach Ian Foster as they look to reverse last weekend's shock defeat to Argentina. Having eased the pressure after a string of poor results with a rousing win over South Africa, New Zealand were left stunned after they lost to Argentina on home soil for the first time last Saturday. Expect the All Blacks to make this one personal. Read on as our guide explains how to watch a New Zealand vs Argentina live stream from anywhere in the world.

Argentina took down the All Blacks 18-25 in Christchurch with winger Emiliano Boffelli kicking 20 points for the visitors. That result moved Michael Cheika's Pumas to the top of the 2022 Rugby Championship and underlined the South American's growing reputation as an international team to now be reckoned with.

Foster has opted to persevere with the All Blacks side that played in the shock defeat, with his starting XV unchanged for this Saturday's Rugby Championship Test. Cheika has meanwhile made four changes to his Argentina team, with lock Guido Petti, back-rower Santiago Grondona, half-back Tomas Cubelli and winger Santiago Cordero all promoted from the bench.
