New Zealand vs Argentina preview
Despite a slow start to the tournament, in which they lost their opener against France, this is business as usual for New Zealand.
The All Blacks are appearing in the semi-finals for the ninth time in 10 editions of the tournament, and seeking a fourth title.
Ian Foster’s side came through an epic quarter-final with Ireland 28-24, and will be favourites to prevail again here.
But Argentina will not want to roll over easily. Like their opponents, the Pumas started slowly with defeat against England in their opening match.
However, Michael Cheika’s side have recovered with four straight victories, beating Japan to qualify for the quarter-finals, where they recovered from 10-0 down to see off Wales 29-17.
Argentina are now gearing up for their third World Cup semi-final, having also reached this stage in 2007 and 2015, and would love to now go on and reach their maiden final.
Ian Foster makes two changes from the win over Ireland. Mark Tele’a replaces Leicester Fainga’anuku on the wing, while Sam Whitelock takes Brodie Retallick’s place in the second row.
Meanwhile, Michael Cheika makes just a single alteration from the victory over Wales, as Gonzalo Bertranou replaces Tomas Cubelli at scrum-half.
