How to Watch NZ All Blacks v Argentina Live Online – Global Viewing Guide

The New Zealand All Blacks arrive as the world’s No. 2-ranked team and favorites in the opening round of the 2025 Rugby Championship. Head coach Scott Robertson has his side in strong form after three straight wins against France in July. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup draw coming in December, every ranking point matters.

On the other side, Argentina is looking to prove themselves after a mixed summer series. Los Pumas began with an impressive win over the British & Irish Lions, suffered defeats to England, but closed out July with a commanding victory over Uruguay. Ranked No. 7, Argentina aims to climb back into the world’s top five.

What to Watch For

The All Blacks’ explosive backline features Will Jordan, who has 42 tries in 44 tests and remains one of rugby’s most dangerous finishers. Robertson is still testing key combinations in the halves and midfield but enters with depth across the squad.

For Argentina, the counterattack is their sharpest weapon. Last year in Wellington, Los Pumas stunned New Zealand with two first-half tries off turnovers. Juan Cruz Mallía will again be central to their hopes, combining defensive solidity with attacking spark.

Consistency, however, is Argentina’s challenge. Back-to-back fixtures against New Zealand at home present a massive opportunity—but also immense pressure.
