PLAYER RATINGS: Out of gas

You have to commend them for their attitude, a willingness to play and expansive game, and take the All Blacks.

The played with great intensity, a combination of brute strength and inventive play. However, they just could not sustain it beyond the hour mark.

Jan de Koning rates the Argentinean players!

15 Joaquin Tuculet:

Had one really impressive run and a few other less effective efforts. However, he missed too many tackles.

6/10

14 Matthias Moroni:

Didn't have as many opportunities as he would have wanted, but made the most of what came his way. Showed plenty of power.

7/10

13 Matias Orlando:

One really impressive run and a few other darting runs. However, his defence was a major problem.

6/10

12 Juan Martin Hernández:

His footwork caused the All Blacks some trouble and he was solid on defence.

6/10

11 Santiago Cordero:

Being used a lot as a ball carrier and was very effective. Also missed only one tackle in a game where the numbers climbed significantly in the second half.

7/10

10 Nicolas Sanchez:

He is the one player that can challenge Beauden Barrett for the title  as the world's best flyhalf.

8/10

9 Martin Landajo:

Sublime break for the first try and great service. Did his basics well.

6/10

8 Facundo Isa:

His powerful charges caused plenty of bruises in the All Black camp. Also showed some great skill.

8/10

7 Javier Ortega Desio:

Another workhorse in this impressive Argentinean pack - strong carries and solid defence.

7/10

6 Pablo Matera:

Made plenty of hard metres, sometimes just one or two at a time, but kept the momentum going forward.

7/10

5 Matias Alemanno:

The hard work in the close exchanges - especially on defence - was his most valuable asset.

6/10

4 Guido Petti:

Drifted in and out of the game and had the occasional moment of impact.

5/10

3 Ramiro Herrera:

Had a shocker and did not complete a single tackle.

3/10

2 Agustin Creevy (captain):

A real workhorse - the diesel in that powerful Argentinean pack. Made plenty of metres with the ball in hand and missed only one tackle.

7/10

1 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro:

Impressive work in the scrums, very powerful carries (making good metres) and made most of his tackles.

7/10

Replacements:

16 Julian Montoya (on for Creevy, 63rd min):

His best work was on defence, while his ball carries were rather ineffective.

5/10

17 Lucas Noguera (on for Chaparro, 63rd min):

Made no contribution whatsoever.

4/10

18 Enrique Pieretto (on for Herrera, 67th min):

Not enough time to be rated.

19 Mark Kremer (on for Matera, 65th min):

Made no impact and missed all his tackles.

3/10

20 Leonardo Senatore (on for Petti, 41st min):

Made his tackles, had a few good carriers and some hard work at the breakdown.

6/10

21 Tomas Cubelli (on for Landajo, 61st min):

Did the basics, but nothing more.

5/10

22 Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias (on for Hernández, 37th min):

Struggled to get over the advantage line and missed too many tackles.

4/10

23 Ramiro Moyano (on for Sanchez, 65th min):

Some great cover defence that stopped a certain try, but brought nothing else to the game.

5/10
