New Zealand Pleased To Beat Argentina

New Zealand coach Steve Hansen and vice-captain Kieran Read offer their thoughts following New Zealand's 28-13 Rugby Championship win over Argentina.

Argentina scored an early try to take the lead before New Zealand hit back with two tries from Aaron Smith and one from Julian Savea ensuring a third win out of three in this year's competition.

"The big positive is that we won," Hansen said. "The next big positive I think we exerted our own physicality on the game pretty well. I think the forwards played really good.

Weather conditions made the game a difficult one for both sides, and Hansen said he couldn't be too critical of errors made by his team.

"It wasn't a night for the backs. It was really, really difficult. When you see Israel Dagg drop a high ball you know it's hard because he's the best in the world at it so we won't reflect too much on those kind of errors.

"We will look at the things that we can tidy up our structures around the park and just get back to work on Sunday."

Read added: "I think the conditions created that a little bit a lot of close quarter stuff. I think we set up really well.

"I thought our pack was outstanding tonight competed really hard in the set piece and on defence as well it's probably our best effort this year so really pleased with that."
