Steve Hansen "very happy" with New Zealand win over Argentina

New Zealand coach Steve Hansen reveals that he is "very happy" with his team's bonus-point triumph over Argentina in the Rugby Championship.

New Zealand coach Steve Hansen has revealed that he is "very happy" with his side's 28-9 win over Argentina in the Rugby Championship.

The All Blacks picked up their second victory of the tournament on Saturday as they ran in four tries to claim a bonus-point triumph in Napier.

Julian Savea touched down twice for the world champions, while Liam Messam and Aaron Smith also got in on the act during a dominant display from New Zealand.

"I am very happy with the final result," Hansen is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "We have played these guys three years in a row in not great conditions and this is the first time we have got a bonus point so I'm fairly happy to have picked that up."

New Zealand return to action next Saturday when they face South Africa in Wellington.
