“But we also cancelled a lot of what they had planned, but they changed their game and started to make it simpler, and we couldn’t dominate them there.<\/p>\n
“Even so, I think we were in the contest throughout the entire match. We came within a try in the second half of tying them. There were a lot of things that we worked on during the week before that we utilised well in the match, which for me is super important.”<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old, who plays his club rugby at Harlequins in London, was one of the three try scorers for Argentina in Cordoba.<\/p>\n
“It was my first game against the All Blacks. There’s something different about playing them,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The day before the Test, I remembered when I used to do the haka at home. There were sentimental aspects to playing the All Blacks, which made me really emotional.<\/p>\n
“But once I was out there, I knew the attention the game required, and you must try to manage any emotions.<\/p>\n
“Personally, I felt good. I’m quite self-critical. I know I must keep improving and there are things I can do much better.”<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to Saturday’s game at Estadio Jose Amalfitani, Isgro said: “This weekend is going to be tougher and they’re going to come with other things.<\/p>\n
“We have to focus on ourselves. We made a lot of unforced errors in the match, and we have to work on that, on the details.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Argentina were comfortably beaten by New Zealand in last weekend’s Rugby Championship clash in Cordoba, but winger Rodrigo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,63014,760,85],"class_list":["post-83686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-los-pumas","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
