Angus Gardner is a joke of a ref. Try before halftime shud not have stood, Argentina clearly shud have been given penalty at the scrum.

NZ take a 20-6 lead over Arg into halftime. Arg opened the scoring with an early penalty, but NZ hit back with two tries to lead 12-3. Arg pulled three points back with a penalty, but that was canceled out by a NZ shot at goal and the All Blacks then ran in a third try with the final play of the half for a 14 point advantage at the break.
