New Zealand overwhelm Argentina to reach final

New Zealand will have a shot at winning a record fourth Rugby World Cup after a comprehensive seven-try win over Argentina at Stade de France booked their place in next Saturday’s final against England or South Africa.

Los Pumas led with an early Emiliano Boffelli penalty but two tries in the space of five minutes from Will Jordan and Jordie Barrett put the All Blacks in command.

A third from Shannon Frizzell with the last move of the half and Aaron Smith’s sniping individual score early in the second half took them further clear.

Frizzell grabbed his second and Jordan completed his hat-trick to move him level with Jonah Lomu (1999), Bryan Habana (2007) and Julian Savea (2015) with a record eighth try in a single Rugby World Cup to seal the All Blacks' place in a fifth final.
