After 33 attempts since 1976, Argentina’s national rugby union team finally claimed their first-ever win against New Zealand on Saturday. In their first Rugby Championship game after a 13-month hiatus due to COVID, the Pumas stunned the All Blacks to win 25-15 at Bankwest Stadium in Sydney, Australia.
Coach Mario Ledesma was emotional and almost incredulous after the match. With the victory, Argentina passed Australia for second place, yet rugby bookmakers still seem to favor the Wallabies for their upcoming game on November 21.
