Will Jordan - The Canadian PressPARIS — Within the glut of Rugby World Cup records earned by New Zealand, there’s scope for Argentina to be confident going into their semifinal on Friday.
In semifinals, they have won four but also lost four; to Australia in 1991, France in 1999, Australia again in 2003, and England in 2019. The All Blacks proved that by knocking out the world’s best team — Ireland — 28-24 last Saturday with a stunning performance few saw coming. The Pumas defied the odds themselves on Saturday by beating Wales 29-17 from five behind with 12 minutes to go.
In games, the Pumas have generally been slow starters and strong finishers. They have been patient to build and enjoyed the majority of possession and territory, but not been so clinical. The majority of their 17 tries in five games have come from attacking lineouts, while the scrum has been penalized nine times.
“Once you beat them once, perhaps you humanise them more,” assistant coach Felipe Contepomi said of New Zealand. “But the game starts 0-0.”
