RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina
-
Pretty shit for Argentina
Besides, the players had nothing else to do on Sunday. Much to Cheika’s annoyance, the organisers have refused to let his team travel up to the capital the day after the match, because the hotel they are staying in is already being used by another of the teams based in Paris, and the rooms won’t open up until Monday.
“We asked them, we begged them, but they were too stubborn,” Cheika said. Instead, his team took the day off, and will travel on Monday, which means they will only have three full days to prepare for the game. “And the other team will already be in Paris waiting for their semi-final.”
@Machpants they can't do rehab in their current hotel?

If I was relying on you to help win me a RWC SF game, I'd probably keep you out of Paris as long as possible..

I haven't read the last 50 odd posts. But at this point Foster has earned the right to pick his side. I'd love Roigard to be there, but Foz will do Foz so let's just sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride

My fear is that we've played our final against Ireland and haven't left anything in the tank for the rest of the RWC.
As irrational or rational that fear is.

It'll be very hard to get back up against Arg see last cup vs England, then eng vs SA. But I think Arg aren't as good as england were then, and certainly did not have the laser focus that Eddie put on beatings ABs above actually winning the cup. So I think we'll win. But it will be tough

no more than anyone else left really. Argentina had to really get up and about to win theirs, England had to dig deep to hold off Fiji, and look at the effort South Africa had to put in.
No one is coming in to a semi final on the back of an easy weekend

@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.
