The All Blacks have started their defence of the World Cup with a hard fought 26-16 victory over Argentina.
The All Blacks were made to work hard for the victory, eventually pulling away in the final 20 minutes. Both captain Richie McCaw and centre Conrad Smith were sin-binned in the first half as the Pumas went to the break with a 13-12 lead.
However, the All Blacks played better in the second half, scoring two tries to kill off the game. Halfback Aaron Smith and Sam Cane were the scorers for the All Blacks. A Rugby World Cup record crowd of just over 89,000 fans attended the game at Wembley Stadium, breaking the previous record of just under 83,000 at the 2003 final.
