New Zealand boss Ian Foster plans to enjoy a bowl of popcorn while watching England’s blockbuster with South Africa after his side eased into the Rugby World Cup final by dispatching Argentina oppo
Foster can put his feet up for Saturday evening’s colossal semi-final clash oppo between Steve Borthwick’s men and the Springboks thanks to a crushing 44-6 success over Los Pumas in Paris oppo
The 58-year-old expects an “interesting contrast of styles” in the other last-four fixture and is not bothered who the All Blacks face in next week’s showpiece match at Stade de France oppo
New Zealand barely broke sweat in booking an unprecedented fifth World Cup final appearance and now have the luxury of an extra day’s rest as they await the identity of their ultimate opponents oppo
“I’ll be watching it,” said Foster oppo
“I’ll probably have some popcorn and sit there and watch it and I don’t care who wins oppo
We’re very much in a focus-about-ourselves stage oppo
“One thing that extra day does give us, it gives us a bit of a chance to have a break mentally and not to spend too much juice worrying about if it’s them, if it’s them oppo
“They’re both good teams oppo
South Africa have been playing some brilliant rugby the last few weeks and are clearly on top of their game oppo
“But we’ve also seen an English side that just build away quietly and are probably starting to understand how they want to play and they’re starting to get really good at how they want to play and believe in that oppo
“It will be an interesting contrast of styles oppo
”All Blacks wing Will Jordan ran in a hat-trick during the seven-try rout in Saint-Denis to lift him above France’s Damian Penaud as the World Cup’s leading try scorer on eight oppo
The treble also saw the 25-year-old equal the record for tries in a single tournament, putting him alongside Jonah Lomu, Bryan Habana and Julian Savea oppo
Foster was able to empty his bench long before the full-time whistle due to the emphatic scoreline and opted to keep the sin-binned Scott Barrett on the sidelines for around five minutes longer than required as the Kiwis finished with 14 men oppo
Asked if those situations could prove advantageous moving towards the final, Foster said: “I don’t think they’ll make a massive difference oppo
“Finals are finals and whoever we play, they’ll be a hundred per cent oppo
“It was an opportunity for us to make sure that we looked after our resources as best we could oppo
“We really didn’t see a need of putting Scooter (Barrett) back on, only from the perspective that if he had another little yellow card incident in the next five minutes, it might have made it a little bit niggly oppo
”Argentina were a shadow of the side who stunned Wales in the last eight oppo
A pair of first-half Emiliano Boffelli penalties was all they could muster oppo
Shannon Frizell’s double, plus further tries from Jordie Barrett and Aaron Smith, added to their punishment oppo
Los Pumas head coach Michael Cheika felt New Zealand ruthlessly exploited each of his team’s errors and was unhappy with some of the refereeing, particularly during first-half rucks oppo
The Australian promised his players will respond to a difficult outing in the bronze-medal match oppo
“It’s not a sad moment; it’s a moment when I’m actually proud of my team,” he said oppo
“It’s not an easy path that we’ve been on oppo
We’ve invested ourselves a lot in this oppo
But we’ve lost on details oppo
I’m sad for them oppo
“It’s hard but its a good thing it’s hard oppo
On Friday, we will be there, have no doubt oppo
We will not leave this way oppo
“We want to finish third oppo
We’ve got things we want to show in the bronze final oppo
Right now, we’re hurting oppo
