New Zealand have suffered their first ever home defeat to Argentina to renew the pressure on coach Ian Foster.
The Pumas won 25-18 in Christchurch amid scenes of wild celebration to go to the top of the Rugby Championship table, having also beaten Australia a fortnight ago.

New Zealand took the try count 2-1, with hooker Samisoni Taukei’aho and winger Caleb Clarke crossing against a touchdown from flanker Juan Martín González.

In today’s other game in the Rugby Championship, Australia defeated South Africa 25-17 in Adelaide. It is proving to be the most open tournament for years.
