RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina
-
@nzzp yeah I very much doubt if those in the Irish squad were thinking beyond the 1/4, but alot of the noise outside was more about how NZ would struggle to beat them, so hopefully the team will be able to regain thier focus to get over this next hurdle, will be a different one, but no less tough IMO.

@Machpants they can't do rehab in their current hotel?

Pretty shit for Argentina
Besides, the players had nothing else to do on Sunday. Much to Cheika’s annoyance, the organisers have refused to let his team travel up to the capital the day after the match, because the hotel they are staying in is already being used by another of the teams based in Paris, and the rooms won’t open up until Monday.
“We asked them, we begged them, but they were too stubborn,” Cheika said. Instead, his team took the day off, and will travel on Monday, which means they will only have three full days to prepare for the game. “And the other team will already be in Paris waiting for their semi-final.”
so the games begin....

If I was relying on you to help win me a RWC SF game, I'd probably keep you out of Paris as long as possible..

Apologies if this has already been asked but why did goal kicking duties get passed from RM to JB. Slight niggle?

My fear is that we've played our final against Ireland and haven't left anything in the tank for the rest of the RWC.
As irrational or rational that fear is.
It'll be very hard to get back up against Arg see last cup vs England, then eng vs SA. But I think Arg aren't as good as england were then, and certainly did not have the laser focus that Eddie put on beatings ABs above actually winning the cup. So I think we'll win. But it will be tough

no more than anyone else left really. Argentina had to really get up and about to win theirs, England had to dig deep to hold off Fiji, and look at the effort South Africa had to put in.
No one is coming in to a semi final on the back of an easy weekend

As it should be.

@mariner4life Fair points all the Q/F's have been very competitive games of rugby.
I expect us to beat Argentina, however in times of late whenever I expect the AB's to win they invariably lose...

Probably as simple as JB knocked one over from distance early, Mo'unga then missed one, and having not kicked overly well at the Stade de France in the first game they probably just mutually agreed for Jordie to do it.
