    The Argentinian union has announced the Pumas' three matches of the RC. The dates of the other tests haven't been released yet by SANZAAR or the other unions.

    In NZT:

    Sun 9 July 2023: Los Pumas vs. All Blacks, in Mendoza (Malvinas Argentina)

    Sat 15 July 2023: Wallabies vs Los Pumas (in Australia)

    Sun 30 July 2023: Springboks vs Los Pumas (in South Africa)


    The Pumas have played the All Blacks at home twelve times, but it's for the first time that this match takes place at a venue outside the province of Buenos Aires.

    The last time the Pumas played the All Blacks at home - 21 July 2019 - the Pumas suffered a narrow 16 - 20 loss.

    @Stargazer a week turnaround between ABs home and Wallabies is a tough ask

    @NTA It is mate, but I suspect this year's RC will just be a build up to the WC for the 4 teams.

    Nothing new under the sun I expect. The All Blacks will want to secure the Bledisloe. The Springboks will send half-baked away teams. The Aussies will get their hopes raised by smashing away selections. The Argies will point to foreign born players in other squads...

    None of them will have anything remotely new or ground breaking in the way they play. I'll still watch.

    Springbok players will be rested during the 6 nations tournament to freshen up. TRC will be important for them to prepare for the WC.

    @Bovidae think we can chalk up another loss to Argentina too.

    @Bovidae Maybe not having it at Eden Park is a good thing.

    Boks at Mt Smart because Eden Park is busy

    It's crazy how little the Boks have played at Eden Park in recent years. The last game they played there was 2013. They've only played against the AB's at Eden Park 3 times this century.. meanwhile the Aussies have played the ABs 18 times there

    i had missed theyre playing at Mt Smart. i assume loads of temp seating going in as thats a bit of a drop in capacity

    must be pretty unusual for the AB's not to have first crack at dates, whats going on at eden park?

    Ten years ago! I was at that game, famous for the controversial Bismarck du Plessis red card (two yellow cards).

    Nothing to do with crowds. Lots to do with FIFA
