@Chris said in RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina:
French referee likely for this SF,normally WR policy is to not give Semi Finals to Refs from the 4 countries competing.
Only slightly better than getting that Georgian one I guess.
What about any of the Aussies?

Argentina have been bang average this RWC. They were also losing to Wales until they got a bit of luck. Provided we are not complacent we should do this comfortably enough. I’d bring telea and roigard back in, otherwise no changes
In a tournament and in particular the knock out stages, I don’t think that really matters. It’s just one game that matters. You get to reset, change tact and all because it’s a different opposition and challenge.
Dealing with the pressure of the occasion is probably the biggest factor in whoever gets momentum.

Will it change how we reflect on Foster?
not for me, i dont view the RWC like some, his role in making watching the AB so much less enjoyable over the last four years isn't outweighed by winning it.
Whether he wins or not, the Irish series, the hidings to France, SA and Argentina are inexcusable. I congratulate Foster for getting the job done to date in the RWC but a RWC win doesn't erase 4 years of pain. There are some records in there that will never get back.
i actually dont like him as a person from what i see in the press conferences etc...he actually seems bloody smug and unapologetic...would happy give everything away to win the RWC and think thats fine
I think Foster seems considerably more likable than Hansen ever was.

Interesting that Coles was on media duties. If they are worried about workload of a few forwards, Whitelock and Coles could move into the starting side without any drop off in quality/experience
I was actually thinking that they could bring Sami T back in for the Argies. Given it’s still early in the week Coles may have been used because he’s an experienced head and he played against Ireland.
Sami T started that demolition test of Argentina in Hamilton last year. Although it was Coles and Taylor earlier this year in the win in Mendoza.

Ta for that

Gardner will referee Argentina v New Zealand for the fifth time in what is his first Rugby World Cup knockout match as a referee.
The Australian official was in the middle for Argentina's historic 25-15 victory in November 2020.
He also refereed their most recent meeting, won 41-12 by New Zealand in July, in the Rugby Championship.
