@voodoo but also, you could see if you can find out the rumour about any ABs whose defence was not up to scratch.
See JGP's try and Will Jordans poor effort
Not quite the rumour I had in mind.
you're welcome
So you haven't heard about the liaison liaison.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I suspect the Argentinians will take enormous confidence from the heroics of their soccer. Everyone is writing them off, but they will be full of passion and belief tomorrow night.

Rainy weather for last two weekends, more scrums, which will pressure the pumas

Enormous confidence? I'm not sure about that.
But don't get me wrong, I'll be a nervous wreck until (hopefully 🙏) the game is in the bag.

Christie again
FFS. Let's hope Smith stays on for the full 80 minutes again.
(unless the AB's have a big lead with say20105 minutes left).As we found out last week, we're better off just sending Aaron to stand behind the try line for 5 minutes either side of halftime and play with 14.
with at most 2 more games in the black jersey...good bloody luck getting him off the field i would say

I'm hoping the try line is on the field this week.

Exhibit B of what can go horribly wrong in a World Cup Semi Final.
You forgot to attach Annexure A to Exhibit B that says that match was against the defending RWC champs with a team littered with world class players....

But...if we make the final, help the Boks, as I view their scrum as a little better than ours.

If we can get through the 80 with no cards - so no absorbing tackles, no instinctively putting your hand up in the passing corridor, no hanging on to the maul when you've lost your footing, no leaving the ground on a contested kick unless you know you're a chance - we will be in a great position to win this thing.

Not too cold tomorrow night in Paris, but it is likely to be windy and wet. The Wellington boys will feel like they’re at home.

The ABs need to attack the Arg scrum and get some easy penalties.
I think there is a real opportunity there. It certainly made a difference in the QF, not only the field position but the confidence to the pack.
It's just as much about the Arg scrum not being very good. They have been under pressure in most games in the RWC. We just have to hope there are a few of them (only 5 vs Ireland).
Used to be their pride and joy

Call it what you like. The betting markets are saying the All Blacks are 1/12 on to make the final. All the pundits are saying we are going to make the final.
I’d say there’s an enormous air of complacency around this Semi Final. We’ve been here before and we know where it ends up. Respect your opponent or end up on your arse.
Have the AB’s indicated they don’t rate/respect the Pumas’s? Or is it AB fans?
-
@ACT-Crusader The All Blacks lineout is the absolute key for me. It’s been rock solid in recent tests. If Argentina can disrupt it they’ll think they have a chance.

How will rain impact All Blacks v Pumas semifinal?
