RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina
-
-
Argentina just about still in it. It is important we start the second half well and don't give them a sniff.
We have looked good in attack. Most disappointing factor has been the kicking which has not been deep enough. We could have done with another conversion, as well.
-
All hail King Telea, made that try!
NZ defence is great again. Disciplined and contesting every ruck. When we get the ball, Mounga is giving them kittens. Barrett is also so good at 12 because he offers not only a physical threat but also a passing and jinking threat. Tight five are doing a fab job cleaning out rucks. We got this!

ABs have made 92% tackles. Argentina only 82%.

Mark Telea beat six men.
Drop him. He's clearly turned to shit.

How’s the atmosphere at the ground?
-
Ok. Heart rate still elevated.
Playing goodly though both sides of ball.
Nice finish to half, conversion would have been handy. (Put it down Shannon!)
Who wasn't screaming at Angus when Nuggie's kick was touched?
-
Problem for the argies , they won’t beat us in units of 3
First try after half time massive, could be game over if it’s us

Real sense of inevitability about the whole thing, seems to have affected the crowd too. Obvs wouldn’t care if I was an AB fan.
Probably good for the ABs. Have a flat week but pay no price, then get up to face the opponent in the final

How does Telea do it? Not the biggest or the fastest but breaks tackles at will.

That's a good half. The defence is so good. Patient, thrn there is a rush once the runner is identified. It's frustrating the Pumas in to grubber kicks
On attack we're not as direct as.last week, but still lots of phases, and thr Mo'unga Jordie Reiko axis looks so good
Problem, as always, is we keep inviting Argentina back because we either can't kick far enough, or contest our kicks.
We're in a good spot
-
Still can't exit to save themselves. Frustrating!

-
Interesting game stats.
We’ve had higher possession but have had to make 41 more tackles. Shows our deficit in field position.
Penalty count is good
