The three-time world champions went into the match under huge pressure after slumping to the Wallabies then the Pumas, and were facing the prospect of three losses in a row for the first time in more than 20 years.

The All Blacks scored five tries through Dane Coles, Ardie Savea, Patrick Tuipulotu and a double by Jordan.

Meanwhile, the Los Pumas delivered a weak defensive performance as they struggled to get on the board.
