The DSPN is here to unpack all the important details of the All Blacks' 29-23 loss to the Pumas on the weekend. New Zealand's stumble has Martin Devlin and Tony Johnson trading fresh words for fresh frustrations. From misfiring lineouts to chaotic backline play, nothing seemed to click, and Tony doesn't shy from pointing out the recurring demons - aerial woes, dumb yellow cards, and wasted possession. Could an SOS to Wayne Smith be an option? The pair discuss that as well as potential selection changes to the back three and loose forwards, with the Springbok tests now under two weeks away.
