New Zealand vs Argentina at Rugby Championship 2024, with round two set to take place today.The Pumas shocked the rugby world by beating the All Blacks in Wellington last weekend. Can lightning strike for a second time in the Rugby Championship today? This guide explains how to watch a New Zealand v Argentina live stream on what’s looking like a wet and windy evening in Auckland.
Argentina stunned New Zealand last weekend, running out 38-30 winners in a thrilling encounter in Wellington. The South Americans had never won in New Zealand before 2022, but they have now triumphed in two of their last three matches on All Blacks soil. Repeating the feat today will be tough, but Argentina no longer have a fear factor when facing New Zealand.

Ian Foster is under pressure to deliver results after overseeing defeats by South Africa (twice), France and now Argentina in the last 12 months. Ahead of an upcoming double-header against South Africa, the reigning world champions, the All Blacks need to get points on the board in their second meeting with Argentina.
