The All Blacks are celebrating a 46-24 win over Argentina tonight but it hasn't come without issues with both Brodie Retallick and Ngani Laumape nursing injuries from the physical contest.

Both Retallick and Laumape were forced from the field early in tonight's contest in Nelson.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said there was some concerns for the duo.

"Ngani has done a knee ligament - we don't know how long that's going to be.

"Brodie's shoulder is pretty sore but again, we don't know until we get them scanned on Monday.

"They're both pretty sore boys."

There was also a third injury scare for the All Blacks early in the contest when Ben Smith was taken from the field for a head injury assessment but the fullback past the protocols and returned to the field.
