Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live updates of the Rugby Championship clash between the All Blacks and Argentina at the Gold Coast.
After sweeping three Bledisloe Cup tests against Australia - including two Rugby Championship fixtures - New Zealand sit atop the tournament table and now turn their attention to their other rivals, starting with the upstart South Americans.
The All Blacks lost their unbeaten dominance of the Pumas last year, when they were hijacked 25-15 at Sydney, so they won't likely take their rivals lightly again.
Argentina have already lost twice to South Africa and will be desperate to take something out of their game tonight.
All Blacks coach Ian Foster is again without his experienced core of Sam Whitelock, Dane Coles, Richie Mo'unga and Aaron Smith, and has also lost Ardie Savea, whose term as captain lasted less than 40 minutes, before he failed a concussion test against the Wallabies last week.
Hooker Codie Taylor also left early with a head injury and has not been named in this week's playing squad, replaced by Asafo Aumua in the starting line-up.
Also gone is midfield star Anton Lienert-Brown, who withdrew from the team this morning with a hamstring niggle and was replaced by Rieko Ioane at centre.
Meanwhile, Jordie Barrett has survived a judicial hearing on his red-card kicking offence against Australia, Like Jacobson replaces Savea at No.8, Karl Tu'inukuafe has the start at prop, TJ Perenara will start at halfback, while wings George Bridge and Sevu Reece replace Will Jordan and Ioane.

Whitelock no longer joining All Blacks in Australia, Mo'unga available for final test
Veteran Sam Whitelock will no longer rejoin the All Blacks in Australia.
The All Blacks lock was supposed to fly to Brisbane to start two weeks in hard quarantine, after remaining behind in New Zealand for the birth of his third child.
NZ Rugby (NZR) was only granted an exemption for Whitelock to quarantine in Queensland late on Friday, with his flight delayed until Tuesday.
NZR believes the timing of Whitelock's late arrival would not give him enough time to safely prepare to play against South Africa on October 2.
He will now remain in New Zealand and rejoin the All Blacks squad for their northern hemisphere tour, starting in October.
But All Blacks first-five Richie Mo'unga will fly to Queensland on Tuesday and will be available for the final Rugby Championship test against the world champion Springboks.
Mo'unga, like Whitelock, didn't travel with the All Blacks to Australia last month as he too took paternity leave for the birth of his first child.
