NAPIER New Zealand (Reuters) - Winger Julian Savea scored two tries as New Zealand again struggled to put Argentina away before they eventually ground out a 28-9 win in their tightly contested Rugby Championship clash at McLean Park in Napier on Saturday.

Liam Messam and Aaron Smith also scored tries for the All Blacks to secure a vital four-try bonus point, though the home side had a poor game with the boot.
