Argentina’s magnificent victory over New Zealand in Wellington has shaken-up the 2024 Rugby Championship. The accomplishment comes with added spice as the teams prepare to meet again at Eden Park. The Auckland stadium is the unofficial national stadium of New Zealand rugby. The All Blacks have not been beaten at the stadium for 30 years.
The last time the All Blacks lost at End Park was on July 03, 1994. France were 23-20 winners to clinch an historic test win over the All Blacks in New Zealand. 30 years on, Los Pumas have the opportunity of doing the same.
The three decades since the 1994 defeat have seen New Zealand winning 47 test matches at Eden Park and competing to two draws. Only two of the wins have been against the Americas; the All Blacks defeated Canada in 1995 and Argentina in 2011. The win over Los Pumas was a Quarter Final at Rugby World Cup 2011.
20 of the wins over this period have been against Australia. The Wallabies are easily the leading opponent of the All Blacks at Eden Park from 1994-2024. Indeed, France and England place second with 5 matches against New Zealand. South Africa is not with four loses and one draw. The British & Irish Lions also had one draw at the venue.
New Zealand’s task in round two of the 2024 Rugby Championship is victory. This will get the campaign back on track before two matches against the Springboks in South Africa. Preparations for the All Blacks will, no doubt, take place with an eye to improvement as well as to extending the unbeaten streak at Eden Park to 50 test matches.
