So what did we learn from Bledisloe 2?
So a thumping win, great to see, and great to see some captaincy all about winning - take the 3 when it's a gimmie - take a bow Sam Whitelock. <br><br>Learnings (to borrow one of the many fcuked up terms that players and coaches seem to spout ad nauseum in interviews).

All Blacks v Argentina II
Well, I was fearing another shit game to fit with the one good game- two bad games pattern, but tonight was impressive across the park. Putting the score to one side, it was an 80-minute performance and not a mix of superb and shite we've seen in the recent past.

In retaining Foster and elevating Schmidt to a more strategic role, the NZR has made both a political arse-saving decision and a sensibly pragmatic one. Fundamentally, of course, this was always about fixing up a public relations mess of their own making.
