'WE CAN'T JUST RELY ON EDEN PARK'

Savea says All Blacks must win everywhere after extending 30-year run in Auckland

- 

The message from the All Blacks and their captain Ardie Savea was clear they must win every Test, regardless of the opponent, occasion or venue.

On Aug 17, New Zealand rode a first-half try blitz to a 42-10 victory over Argentina in the Rugby Championship at Auckland's Eden Park to avenge last week's shock 38-30 loss to Los Pumas in Wellington.

Savea, Damian McKenzie, Caleb Clarke, Will Jordan and Beauden Barrett all crossed to give the team a 35-3 lead at half-time, despite teeming rain and strong winds at the spiritual home of Kiwi rugby.

Jordan added his second try soon after the break to drive home the advantage but the Pumas managed to stem the flood of tries before scoring one of their own through Juan Cruz Mallia in the 72nd minute.

Fly-half McKenzie converted all six All Blacks tries with a perfect night from the kicking tee as New Zealand extended their 30-year unbeaten run at Eden Park to 50 Tests. "Very happy to get the win and respond the way we did," said skipper Savea.
