Rugby World Cup 2023 LIVE: All Blacks vs Argentina latest score ...

51 mins: There’s a touch under 30 minutes to play in Paris but it’s not too outrageous to say that the match is over already. Hardly anything is going Argentina’s way.

They create space on the right side of the pitch and sweep the ball out wide only for Mateo Carreras to drop the ball in a knock on and put an end to this promising attack.

49 mins: Three big carries from the New Zealand forwards soften up the Argentina line setting up the All Blacks to repeatedly drive at the line.

The Pumas hold out for a while but Shannon Frizell manages to ground the ball and send the New Zealand fans cheering once again.

47 mins: New Zealand’s lead is now three fully converted tries and Argentina’s uphill battle is looking like a mountain. The All Blacks are in full control with incredible footwork and ball handling skills too much for the Pumas to handle.

45 mins: Harry Latham-Coyle at the Stade de France - "Just the start to the half Argentina wouldn’t have wanted...

“That was much too easy for Aaron Smith, ducking and weaving like a featherweight boxer between pretty laboured tackle efforts from the Pumas defenders.

“Smith has had a remarkable tournament, now 34 but still as sharp as ever and seemingly becoming a better and better sniper with age."

42 mins: Disaster for Argentina. The ball comes loose from the scrum and is given to Aaron Smith. Fancy footwork shifts him inside of his marker before a dummy pass out wide allows him to slide over the line for another try.

Richie Mo’unga boots over the conversion.

New Zealand get the match back underway and immediately Argentina mess up. An uncontested catch is spilled and the All Blacks win themselves a scrum.

Harry Latham-Coyle at the Stade de France: "Argentina coach Michael Cheika was having an animated discussion with Matthew Carley, the extra official, in the moments before New Zealand crossed for that third score, turning and storming down the tunnel as Mark Telea made the break in the build-up.

“A few Pumas fans whistled referee Angus Gardner's exit from the playing area - Argentina have struggled for discipline but clearly a few South American supporters feel their side have been hard done by."

Argentina have had their moments of quality but the All Blacks have been a class above in that first half. They look likely to score on every attack and haven’t gone through the gears yet.

Too many mistakes from Argentina has put them on the back foot and it’s a long way back from here.

40+2 mins: New Zealand gain field position through a penalty then win the scrum. They repeatedly drive at the defence from the ruck, narrowing the Argentinian midfield.

A missed tackle on Mark Tele’a sets him free to fly up the pitch before he’s brought down a metre or so from the try line. The ball is released quickly without giving the Pumas time to organise and Shannon Frizell goes over on the left wing.
