New Zealand Coach Reflects After Historic Defeat to Argentina

New Zealand coach Scott Robertson reflects on the All Blacks' surprising 38-30 defeat to Argentina in the Rugby Championship opener. This marks the team's first loss since Robertson took over. He promises to take personal responsibility while aiming for a better performance in the upcoming rematch at Eden Park.

New Zealand coach Scott Robertson vowed to reflect deeply on what could have been done differently after the All Blacks were upset 38-30 by Argentina in the Rugby Championship opener at Wellington Regional Stadium.

Robertson, a former Canterbury Crusaders coach, faced his first defeat since taking over from Ian Foster last November. Key tries from Argentina and an 18-point effort from Santiago Carerras led to the All Blacks' shocking loss.

Despite having previously dominated the Pumas in a 44-6 Rugby World Cup semi-final victory, the All Blacks delivered an error-filled performance this time. With another match set at Eden Park, Robertson aims for significant improvements.
