    Who will pay the price for the All Blacks loss to Argentina?

    Who will pay the price for the All Blacks loss to Argentina?


    Rugby editor Elliott Smith suggests coach Scott Robertson is unlikely to make wholesale changes for the test against South Africa at Eden Park.

    One question will be whether Simon Parker earns second straight start, albeit at blindside flanker rather than number eight.

    Tupou Vaa'i could move back to the second row with Fabian Holland sitting on the bench.

    Finlay Christie will likely start at halfback with debutant Kyle Preston in the reserves.

    One or both wings will likely switch out - Emoni Narawa stands to benefit.
