New Zealand bounced back from their latest self-induced crisis to demolish Argentina by 50 points.
The All Blacks finally delivered a performance close their best in 2022, avenging last weekend's shock home defeat against the Pumas in a comprehensive 53-3 rout.
They ran in seven tries, with Ethan de Groot, Caleb Clarke, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Ardie Savea, Brodie Retallick and Beauden Barrett all crossing to score. An Emiliano Boffelli penalty was all Argentina could muster seven days after shaking rugby's world order with a 25-15 win in Christchurch.
Under pressure All Blacks captain Sam Cane said: "It was massively important (to win), we were under a bit of pressure. We weren't happy with what we dished up last week," he said.
"This week, we were in the game right from the start and we're able to turn that into points. That was a pretty enjoyable night."
Argentina skipper Julian Montoya said: "We need to keep working to be better. Last week we weren't world champions, this week we are not the worst of the world."
