Argentina vs New Zealand Rugby World Cup 2023 Betting Picks

The fearsome All Blacks are the last champions of the Rugby Championship in its 2022 version, a tournament in which they have been crowned 8 times, always with great authority. They finished in first place with 19 points, one more than the second-placed Wallabies. In their group they lost the key match against the French but in the quarterfinals they won a great match against Ireland in this Rugby World Cup 2023.

On the other hand, the Argentineans come from the last place of the Rugby Championship in which New Zealand maintained its hegemony by becoming champions. The Pumas obtained a historic victory in Christchurch when they won 25-18 against the All Blacks. There were very dissimilar performances between the two in the opening stage of this event. They beat Wales in a duel with a lot of friction.

How The Pumas and the All Blacks play and some statistics

New Zealand is already widely known. They usually play a simple, uncomplicated rugby that does what the play calls for. Everything is done with criteria and with a sense according to the place on the field where the game is taking place. It is true that it does not generate the fear that it did in 2011, 2015 or even 2019, but it is also a squad that always appears in key situations and demonstrates its power in every international competition.

The Pumas, under Cheika, have taken a more combative character and where they fight until the end. The team has good forwards and backs that make the difference. One of the strengths of the team is the kicking of Emiliano Boffelli, who is key for the deliveries to the posts.
