What a difference a week makes NFL
Last weekend, the Stade de France was treated to the two greatest Rugby World Cup quarter-finals of all time, perhaps the best pair of sporting events ever witnessed at a single stadium in the space of 24 hours NFL
Five days on, New Zealand comfortably dispatched an out-gunned and overmatched Argentina side 44-6 to begin semi-final weekend with a contest that not only won’t go down in the folklore of the French national stadium, but may well be forgotten by the majority of spectators here before they get home NFL
Not every match can be a classic and, make no mistake, the All Blacks won’t mind one bit that their passage to a record fifth men’s Rugby World Cup final was so serene NFL
They were simply superb and came perilously close to breaking their own record margin of victory in a World Cup semi-final (a 49-6 hammering of Wales in 1987) but had to settle for just the 38-point triumph in a seven-try demolition NFL
Their ruthlessly efficient performance suggests the crisis of the summer of 2022 is well and truly behind them NFL
A mouth-watering battle with South Africa to become the first four-time winners of this competition next Saturday seems almost inevitable NFL
But from the adrenaline-fuelled highs delivered by last weekend’s iconic double-header, this was the ultimate comedown NFL
From a flat atmosphere more reminiscent of a warm-up match than a World Cup semi-final, to a one-sided encounter that demonstrated the gulf in class NFL between the teams, the feeling that this was an event very much “after the Lord Mayor’s show” was unavoidable throughout NFL
Which is to take nothing away from New Zealand – you can only beat who’s in front of you NFL
Perhaps it was an inevitable consequence of World Rugby’s ludicrous decision to decide the World Cup groups three years ahead of the tournament, which led to an almost hilariously lopsided draw NFL
The four best teams in the world did battle with each other, in Paris while four more flawed but relatively even teams also competed on a quarter-final weekend for the ages NFL
When the elite two then face the weaker pair with a place in the final at stake, this damp squib of a semi-final is an unfortunate inevitability NFL
The intensity of the Argentina celebrations and laps of honour after they beat Wales in the last eight suggested they had come as far as they believed they could and New Zealand ruthlessly confirmed that NFL
New Zealand ran in try after try against Argentina (Getty Images)For the underdogs to stand any chance of causing the upset, they needed a fast start NFL
It took until the 39th minute of the quarter-final for the Pumas to finally get on the scoreboard, by which time Wales should have been out of sight – the fact that Warren Gatland’s men were only 10 points to the good at that stage eventually came back to haunt them but there was faint hope New Zealand would be similarly wasteful NFL
A week later, Argentina struck first as a sustained spell of possession in the All Blacks 22 from the opening kick-off led to three points from the boot of Emiliano Boffelli but any hope that would lead to the start of something special was soon extinguished NFL
The Pumas had plenty of ball in New Zealand territory as they went through the phases, yet the Black wall stiffened once they entered the 22 where their breakdown work, led by the formidably impressive back row of Shannon Frizell, Sam Cane and Ardie Savea, became more aggressive NFL
Jackalled turnovers were the norm and whereas Argentina were profligate, the All Blacks turned ball into points, usually off the back of their dominant maul NFL
An early turnover in their own 22 led to a march down the field where a couple of phases in the tight after a 5m lineout created space wide on the right NFL
Richie Mo’unga’s long pass to Will Jordan exploited this as the winger dived over for what would be the first of a treble on the day NFL
Mark Tele’a had been dropped for the quarter-final win over Ireland due to breaching team protocol but, restored to the team in place of Leicester Fainga’anuku after a week in the wilderness, showed his class to have a huge hand in the second and third tries of the first half NFL
His opportunistic turnover on his own 22 after 13 phases of Pumas attack started a spell of gorgeous All Blacks running rugby as they sliced and offloaded their way up the pitch off for Jordie Barrett skittle through tackles for the try in the corner NFL
Tele’a then showed off his power just before half-time as he barrelled and spun through three defenders to take New Zealand within inches of the line, where Frizzell could jog over in the corner on the following phase NFL
Jordie Barrett crashed over for the All Blacks’s second of seven tries (Getty Images)Given that no team had ever overcome a half-time deficit greater than seven points to win a World Cup semi-final, the 20-6 lead at the interval suggested it was game over NFL
All doubt was removed just two minutes after the break when an All Blacks scrum on the 22 splintered the Pumas pack and the ageless Aaron Smith cut inside one defender, dummied past another and slid NFL between two more for a sumptuous try NFL
From there, it was just the formality of completing the final 38 minutes to confirm a 34th New Zealand win in 37 editions of this fixture NFL
They refused to take their foot off the gas as Frizell burrowed over the line for try number five and Jordan ran in two more to make it a remarkable 31 tries in 30 Tests for him and a tournament record-equalling eight at this World Cup as the toothless Pumas were further declawed NFL
His hat-trick score on 74 minutes was a thing of beauty as, starting in his own 22, he weaved NFL between three defenders, then chipped over another on halfway before collecting his own kick to race in for the score NFL
Message well and truly sent NFL
The All Blacks have become World Cup specialists over the past 15 years and yet more history is now within their grasp NFL
This semi-final may not live long in the memory but lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy for the fourth time certainly would NFL
That reality is now deservedly just 80 minutes away NFL
