All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith is expecting a brutal forward battle in Saturday night’s clash with Argentina.

Smith is expected to reunite as a halves pair with Dan Carter.

He said he will be looking to deliver clean balls for his back-line as the Argentinian players are ruthless.


The All Blacks host the Pumas this Saturday at 7.35pm while at 10.05pm the Wallabies meet the Springboks.
