BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - If the end for Nicolas Sanchez in the Pumas shirt is indeed near, there is nothing Argentina's record points scorer would like more than to help his country beat the All Blacks for the first time before he heads off to France.

The 29-year-old flyhalf will get a 12th crack at finishing on the winning side against New Zealand in front of a sellout crowd at Velez Sarsfeld on Saturday and hopes have rarely been higher that the once highly improbable might just be possible.
