All Blacks 26 Argentina 16


This wasn't so much a bullet dodged by the All Blacks, but a blue-and-white striped missile.

On a day when history was created - the World Cup's biggest ever crowd of 89,019, the All Blacks prevented two more. They have never before lost a World Cup pool game or a test to Argentina.

And, with both Richie McCaw and Conrad Smith in the sinbin at the end of the first half and Argentina holding a 13-9 lead, a defeat looked a very real possibility.

The All Blacks pulled their big guns together and came away with the win in the second half.
