What the sports journalists said:

Sydney Morning Herald: All Blacks repel spirited Argentina: AAP writers reported: “a granite-tough Pumas pack proved hard to break down although discipline often proved their undoing.”

TVNZ wrote: … “The All Blacks put in a good second half performance to post a convincing winning margin. The Pumas were incredible tonight and threw everything including the kitchen sink at it. That sin-binning of Argentina’s [Julio Cabello] was a big turning point for them and the All Blacks did well to take advantage.”
