    A call of urgency from All Blacks assistant coach Jason Holland for his backs to improve in the air moving forward

    A call of urgency from All Blacks assistant coach Jason Holland for his backs to improve in the air moving forward


    New Zealand were beaten 29-23 by Argentina in their Rugby Championship clash in Buenos Aires - with the visitors struggling on numerous occasions under the high ball.

    Holland says contesting the ball in the air remains a flaw.



    The All Blacks remain on top of the Rugby Championship standings, one point ahead of the Wallabies, who lost to South Africa 30-22 in Cape Town.
