Argentina vs New Zealand LIVE: All Blacks one game away from World Cup final and England could await – start time, team news and how to follow
New Zealand are one game away from making it to the Rugby World Cup final, but Argentina stand in their way.
Since the World Cup started, the All Blacks are the joint-most successful side, so they will want to take the Webb Ellis Cup back home.
New Zealand beat Ireland 28-24 in the quarter-finals to set up this one.
Meanwhile, Argentina came from trailing Wales to turn the game on its head and claim a place in the last four.
Los Pumas were poor in the first half but changed tactics and attitude to seal a big 29-17 win.
They will now look to pull off another shock and make it to the final where either England or South Africa will await.
