The All Blacks and Pumas kick off their Rugby Championship 2024 campaign.
It’s the second match of this year’s Rugby Championship and the Pumas are on the hunt for what would be just their third ever victory over the All Blacks. Read on to find out how to watch a New Zealand v Argentina live stream today, wherever you are in the world.
Fans in the UK can tune in on Sky/Now and Kiwis can follow the action on Sky Sport, but there are also numerous countries where this All Blacks v Pumas match is available for free via New Zealand Rugby’s NZR+ service – you can find out more below. If you happen to be travelling abroad today, you can still watch the game as you would back at home – this article explains how you can use a VPN to watch New Zealand v Argentina live streams from anywhere.
The All Blacks may have won both of their matches against England in July, but it was a close run thing. New coach Scott Robertson has named an impressive side as New Zealand begin their defence of a title they won for a record-breaking 20th time last year. Ardie Savea captains the side in Scott Barrett’s absence for finger surgery. The Pumas shared their series against a touring French side and thrashed Uruguay a week later, but they’ll have to be on their very best form to beat the hosts. Scroll down to the end of the article for the team line-ups.
This Rugby Championship 2024 match kicks off at the Sky Stadium in Wellington at 7.05pm NZST / 8.05am BST today (Saturday).
