New Zealand will chase a record fourth title against defending champions South Africa or England in next weekend’s final after a dominant 44-6 win in Paris.
New Zealand bulldozed through Argentina 44-6 on Friday to reach the Rugby World Cup final for a record fifth time.
“I am incredibly proud of the way we backed it up tonight,” New Zealand coach Ian Foster said. “It is really satisfying, but now all the pressure of the final comes.” Jordan could have had a fourth try in the match but Richie Mo’unga ignored the overlap and chose to go on his own. No matter, Jordan has a tournament-leading eight tries, matching the record set by Jonah Lomu in 1995, Bryan Habana in 2007 and Julian Savea in 2015. And Jordan has one more match to go.
The Pumas hit back with a 12-phase move that netted Boffelli’s second penalty, but Mo’unga’s penalty made it 15-6 and flanker Shannon Frizell walked over for the third try on the stroke of half-time.
