New Zealand beat Argentina, win Rugby Championship
BUENOS AIRES, Sept 30, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – New Zealand won the Rugby
Championship for the sixth time by beating Argentina 35-17 in Buenos Aires on
Saturday as they put a stunning home defeat by South Africa behind them.
The All Blacks led 21-3 at half-time before a sell-out 50,000 crowd and
scored first in the second half through substitute Patrick Tuipulotu.
Victory gave New Zealand an uncatchable seven-point advantage over South
Africa ahead of their showdown in Pretoria next Saturday.
