    All Blacks coach Ian Foster's praising a huge performance from Ethan Blackadder in the 36-13 win over Argentina in Brisbane

    All Blacks coach Ian Foster's praising a huge performance from Ethan Blackadder in the 36-13 win over Argentina in Brisbane


    The blindside flanker, in only his second test start, made a team-high 12 tackles, as well as carrying the ball 11 times and throwing eight passes in a busy all-round showing.

    Foster says it was all go from Blackadder, who turned his training ground ethic into a big performance.



    The All Blacks have returned to world number one with the victory and meet the side they displaced - the Springboks - next week.
