Samisoni Toukeiho, Aided by Moulin’s drive, he saved Oceania’s first try of the night and Boffelli quickly responded with another penalty for an Argentina side that looked to take every opportunity to attack with plenty of tackles, two of which featured. Good job by Gonzalez and Bertrano, respectively.
More solid in the set pieces, the New Zealand team dictated the terms, forced errors and found gaps that allowed them to take the lead with Moonga and a penalty. A try by Caleb Clark.
Later, two successive penalties from Boffelli reduced the gap and rewarded Las Pumas’ efforts. They went into the break with some details to iron out and only trailed by 3 points.
