Will Jordan scored three of New Zealand’s seven tries as they raced into the World Cup final with a dominant display in Paris
I’ll leave you with Rob Kitson’s match report from a 50-point thriller in Paris. Join us tomorrow to see if England can make the second semi-final a closer contest.“Talk about a deflated semi-final after last weekend’s quarter-finals. What a shame that we ended up here – World Rugby really did screw this up.” It’s hard to disagree with Thomas Engblom’s assessment – let’s hope we see things done a bit differently in 2027.
The kick falls short – and that’s that. It’s a sorry end to a one-sided contest, with Argentina running out of stream in the face of a near-flawless All Black performance. They advance to the final, and whoever they face, will be formidable opponents.
The New Zealand changes just mean more pain for Argentina. Frizell’s tip-on allows Williams to advance and when they end up too narrow, Tele’a takes out a defender and Christie sweeps wide to McKenzie. Will Jordan is alongside him and dives in for his second try of the night.Whitelock gets a huge ovation as he heads off, as does Rieko Ioane. The replacements coming on are Brodie Retallick and Anton Lienert-Brown, which is a bit ridiculous, really.
