SYDNEY - Argentina served up one of the biggest upsets in test rugby history when they stunned New Zealand 25-15 in the Tri-Nations on Saturday , beating the three-time world champions for the first time in 30 attempts going back to 1985.

The Argentinians were given almost no chance of registering their maiden victory over the All Blacks in their tournament opener after being kept off the pitch for almost the entire season by the global health crisis. The All Blacks were looking to impose themselves on the competition after losing 24-22 to Australia last week in Brisbane, but instead fell to back-to-back test defeats for the first time since August 2011.

The All Blacks thrashed the Wallabies 43-5 in Sydney in the final Bledisloe Cup test before a much-changed team, who included four debutants, were beaten last Saturday.
