Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi hailed a historic win over New Zealand in the Rugby Championship on Saturday but did not want to compare the current Pumas’ achievements with successful teams of the past.

Argentina, semi-finalists at the 2023 World Cup, beat the All Blacks at home for the first time in 16 attempts stretching back 40 years, with a 29-23 triumph at Estadio Jose Amalfitani in Buenos Aires. The boot of replacement Santiago Carreras proved the difference as he kicked over three second-half penalties.
