Head coach Mario Ledesma is not expecting New Zealand to underestimate his Argentina side for a second time when they face off in The Rugby Championship on the Gold Coast on Sunday.
The Pumas recorded their first-ever win over the All Blacks in Sydney last November, securing a 25-15 victory over the three-time world champions despite coming straight out of quarantine.
"Last year we came into that game without playing for eight months, so maybe we were underrated or they took things for granted. I don't think they'll do the same mistake this year." Argentina have arrived in Queensland via a circuitous route that saw them defeat Romania in Bucharest in early July before facing Wales twice in Cardiff, where they notched up a draw and a win.
Although last year's maiden win over the All Blacks was followed two weeks later by a 38-0 loss to the New Zealanders, the joy of that victory in Sydney remains fresh in the minds of all associated with the Pumas squad.
