The Mike Hosking BreakfastWill Jordan: All Blacks fullback previews the Rugby Championship opener against Argentina
The All Blacks have named a predictable side for their Rugby Championship opener against Argentina in Cordoba.
Captain Scott Barrett is returning to the side, with Beauden Barrett returning to No. 10 and Cortez Ratima starting at halfback.
There are no new faces on the team for the first time in 2025.
Will Jordan is playing at No. 15, and told Mike Hosking that Argentina seems to be primed and ready to go for a couple of big tests, particularly since they’re defending their home patch.
He says the key for the All Blacks is to come out and try get on top in the first twenty minutes of the match.
