All Blacks key focus

All Blacks identify Pumas locks as key ahead of Buenos Aires game

Lavanini, and Petti, both 25 years old, have been at the heart of Argentina's success this season, and the 100-kilo plus forwards are ones the All-Blacks will have to dominate if they want the win and the bonus point that will guarantee them title.

"Tomas Lavanini he's a physical player, he's got a good work rate, I saw him last week make a key tackle at a key moment so I guess possibly win the game for Argentina," Barrett said.

"Guido Petti is a good line-out forward and he's their leader so we'll be looking to, I guess, try and make them have a quiet night if possible."
