1985 New Zealand rugby union tour of Argentina

The 1985 New Zealand rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played in October and November 1985 in Argentina by New Zealand national rugby union team.

The national side played 7 matches, with 6 won and 1 draw in the second test v. Argentina, when fly-half Hugo Porta scored 21 points (four penalties and three drop goals) for Argentina.

[1] Porta would be named "the best fly-half of the world" at the end of that year.

I was a very close friend of several players because of having faced them before and some matches disputed in New Zealand with invited combined teams.

They had a mixture of experienced and young players that would later take part of that fabulous team that won the 1987 Rugby World Cup.
