New Zealand’s electric tempo early in the game and their clinical finishing laid the platform for a convincing 41-12 Rugby Championship victory over hosts Argentina on Saturday, a pleasing start to the international season for coach Ian Foster.
"The first test is always a bit nervy, not knowing where you are at," Foster told reporters."We knew for us to play with tempo, pace and purpose would be crucial and I thought we did that very well.While the backs dazzled, Foster said the platform laid by his forwards should also draw praise. "It is a good start. It sets us up well for an interesting game next week . Every week is a different challenge but overall I think we have taken some steps in the right direction.""He looked nice and calm. He controlled the game really well from 10. I am really pleased for him," Foster said.
"We lost the second half," he said."We weren’t as efficient with our opportunities. We like to finish strong and we did not do that today.
