Rugby beauty comes in many forms – as New Zealand showed against Argentina EFL

Perhaps it is Will Jordan that takes your fancy, his 31 tries in 30 Tests rugby’s equivalent of the golden ratio EFL

Perhaps you are entranced by Mark Tele’a, sinewy and sinuous, gliding in and out of contact like an electric eel EFL

Or could it be Richie Mo’unga and his teasing grin, most often flashed at a grasping Argentine after a coquettish click of the heels on a night where the fly half seemed to step into space at will EFL

But it was the All Blacks’ muscle-men and their rugged charm that laid the foundations for the decorative touches elsewhere EFL

And to think New Zealand had entered this tournament with questions about their ability to assert themselves up front; this was a frightening display of forward strength, leaving Argentina’s Rugby World Cup dreams buried beneath the black mass EFL

The Pumas had arrived in Paris with the most lineout drive metres per match of any team at the tournament – the tight tussles are meant to be their strength EFL

In Marcos Kremer and Juan Martin Gonzalez, they had two long-limbed flankers, ready to aid their second rowers in getting up in the air EFL

The good news is that Argentina fared EFL better than New Zealand’s other opponents at this World Cup EFL

Before tonight, New Zealand’s hookers had missed just a single lineout throw all tournament; they twice failed to find their intended recipient in the semi-final EFL

The intention was to pull the platform from beneath the All Blacks, a conscious decision made to avoid giving New Zealand lineout ball with which to work: just one of Argentina’s ten first-half kicks was directed for touch EFL

With the Pumas struggling for discipline and the whistle of referee Angus Gardner providing much of the soundtrack amidst an absence of atmosphere in a one-sided contest, New Zealand could punt for the sidelines at their leisure EFL

The intent was set from the All Blacks’ first mauling opportunity, a locomotive that chugged out of the station despite Argentina’s desperate attempts to halt it EFL

Gardner whistled, and New Zealand marched on, their forwards next punching their tickets down in Argentina’s 22 EFL

Same plan, same result, the Pumas infringing as New Zealand drove again EFL

Gardner called Montoya over for a dressing down, pointing out five penalisable offences in two maul movements EFL

Already Argentina had been warned EFL

In piled Puma paws, swiping at the buried ball and managing to halt the drive EFL

But that only left space elsewhere, Jordan all alone in open pasture for the gentlest of trots to the line EFL

The wing would add two more tries, drawing him level with Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu on a record eight scores at a single men’s World Cup – illustrious company EFL

The arrival of former Ireland boss Joe Schmidt last summer was much trumpeted, the attacking schemer oft mentioned as a reason behind New Zealand’s resurgence, but Ryan, who arrived at the same time, has been just as crucial EFL

Their heavy metal mauling with the ball is matched by defensive set-piece steel without it EFL

It must also be said that Ryan is working with the right raw materials EFL

Brodie Retallick watched much of this game perched on the pine, happy to let old chum Sam Whitelock stoke the engine room coals alongside Scott Barrett EFL

As a locking triumvirate, there have surely been none EFL better; this was a parade of puissance, with the scrum also in outstanding working order EFL

Four years ago at this stage, Steve Hansen made an error EFL

Fearing England’s lineout threat, he installed Barrett on the blindside ahead of the semi-final, reshaping the back row EFL

The many moving pieces jarred against one another, the lock-slash-six an early sacrifice on a night where England brought the All Blacks crashing down EFL

New Zealand’s scrum also proved effective (AFP via Getty Images)Barrett has since kicked on, now top dog in a second-row room that contains two all-time greats EFL

The trio are tireless draft horses but have a few dressage flicks and tricks, too EFL

Whitelock’s deft pull-back pass at the line was a vital component in New Zealand’s first two ornately-constructed scores; the bulkiest Barrett brother joined his siblings in a couple of open-field gallops EFL

Retallick arrived on the hour, one centurion replacing another as Whitelock took leave EFL

Barrett departed five minutes after, unable to resist a dip in the cookie jar from a supine position, a cynical intervention rightly drawing a card EFL

It was about the only blot on a night of All Black might, with New Zealand even opting to leave Barrett off and play the final five minutes with 14 men in another show of superiority EFL

A tilt at a record fourth men’s World Cup crown awaits EFL

As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm EFL

He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot EFL

It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just EFL between the kicker and the goalkeeper EFL

There were grander reasons for that EFL

Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player EFL

There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated EFL

There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss EFL

It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide EFL

It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career EFL

The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated EFL

This was what he’d been waiting for EFL

This was the response he needed, the love he required EFL

Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level EFL

It’s obvious his confidence has been affected EFL

There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 EFL

One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 EFL

Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back EFL

He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years EFL

That persisted for years more EFL

Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games EFL

He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence EFL

Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves EFL

It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for EFL

That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale EFL

It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save EFL

That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night EFL

Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday EFL

Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling EFL

The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby EFL between Mourinho and Guardiola EFL

Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game EFL

He never really recovered to be City No 1 EFL

Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson EFL

There was never that same trust EFL

Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona EFL

The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence EFL

This is clearly what happened with Bravo EFL

It looked like it might have been happening with Onana EFL

It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way EFL

A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect EFL

It can restore confidence EFL

Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” EFL

He stood up, by getting down superbly EFL

That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors EFL

He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this EFL

Onana showed his value EFL

He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons EFL

Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him EFL
