Rugby:Argentina's Gonzalo Camacho believes the All Blacks' game is based on the Pumas' greatest strength, their pack. That gives the South American side some hope as they face into the toughest of the four World Cup quarter-final draws against the host country.
“They have great forwards - flanker Jerome Kaino is very strong and we have to try and control them,” said the winger.
Camacho hopes Argentina can keep their fearsome hosts in their sights for the duration of the match.
“We have to respect our system and play our best in attack and be in control of our defence. Being patient is the trick. We have to play the 80 minutes.”
They must play with “heart and lots of passion” in Sunday’s match according to Leicester back Horacio Agulla.
The All Blacks are overwhelming favourites to progress to the semi-finals from the clash at Eden Park and Agulla knows no-one expects his side to provide a shock.
“It’s a big challenge for us playing against the best team in the world,” he said. “It’s going to be a massive game and a dream to play in New Zealand at the World Cup against New Zealand. You cannot give them 10 minutes, otherwise they can score five tries over you.
“We have to be smart and play with our heart and lots of passion. We have to be 100 per cent focused. We have to trust in ourselves and each other.”
