RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina
-
@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...

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

it's not only the team that has to get themselves back up after an emotional week.

Wonder if we will defend as narrow again this week? We sure as hell couldn’t do that against SA, we’d get skinned on the outside
It's quite clearly a horses-for-courses approach. I think we are sometimes overly critical of the ABs coaching set-up for no reason. They absolutely nailed the defensive gameplan v Ireland... you can defend well and concede three tries just by the nature of a game, and likewise not necessarily defend that well and only concede a couple of tries.

I agree, just curious on thoughts as to whether that tightening would be encouraged for the Argies, or if we have something else in mind. I’ve only watch one of their games at this RWC and that was the poor showing v England

Calm down girls
This is going to be another Italy

@MiketheSnow according to our main news channel it is...All Blacks on track for a showdown with the old enemy in the final...
-
i was pretty accepting that we might have lost against ireland...and baring the obvious individuals like Sexton...i dont actually mind Ireland and France as both teams seemed to have made real improvements over the last few years....but now theyre out....and of the 4 teams remaining...us winning is the ONLY result that wont fuck me off.....i hope we smash everyone

@Kiwiwomble France crashing our really took away my emotional fallback option.
We're the only thing standing in the way of the forces of darkness

you've summed up my feelings perfectly
like, i watched from home with cold pizza....have already started rounding up people from the club to go to the pub on sat morning

If not ABs, then England. I know they are a completely boring team with a right bunch of tossers who go on all the time. But if SA win, then they are the undisputed greatest rwc team ever. More wins than us, done the double, and in a few less games. And I'll take boring both over Rassie the cheating twat anyday
