Champions all even after Pumas stun All Blacks
Cape Argus
|August 25, 2025
SPRINGBOK supporters who were in bed before midnight on Saturday woke up to the surprise news that Argentina had beaten New Zealand 29-23 in Buenos Aires.
It was a shock, mostly because the Kiwis had little trouble disposing of the temperamental Pumas 41-24 the week before.
The victory marked the first-ever defeat of the All Blacks on Argentine soil and the fourth occasion in five years that the South Americans have prevailed over New Zealand.
The teams first played each other in 1985, and the Pumas lost 36 games in a row before breaking their duck in a Covid-era match in Australia.
The mighty aura of the All Blacks appears well and truly shattered, and the Argentina win has opened up the Rugby Championship, with all four teams having won one game and lost one.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus said before the Championship kicked off that it would be the most open competition in years, and he has been proved correct.
