MELBOURNE (Reuters) - A New Zealand team that seemed doubtful and disjointed during Ian Foster's first year in charge now appear on the verge of something special as they look to welcome a slew of top-shelf reinforcements to their Rugby Championship campaign.

After thrashing Australia at Eden Park and Perth, the All Blacks further underlined their strength in depth with a 39-0 shutout of Argentina on the Gold Coast on Sunday.
