New Zealand boss Ian Foster plans to enjoy a bowl of popcorn while watching England’s blockbuster with South Africa after his side eased into the Rugby World Cup final by dispatching Argentina jili
Foster can put his feet up for Saturday evening’s colossal semi-final clash jili between Steve Borthwick’s men and the Springboks thanks to a crushing 44-6 success over Los Pumas in Paris jili
The 58-year-old expects an “interesting contrast of styles” in the other last-four fixture and is not bothered who the All Blacks face in next week’s showpiece match at Stade de France jili
New Zealand barely broke sweat in booking an unprecedented fifth World Cup final appearance and now have the luxury of an extra day’s rest as they await the identity of their ultimate opponents jili
“I’ll be watching it,” said Foster jili
“I’ll probably have some popcorn and sit there and watch it and I don’t care who wins jili
We’re very much in a focus-about-ourselves stage jili
“One thing that extra day does give us, it gives us a bit of a chance to have a break mentally and not to spend too much juice worrying about if it’s them, if it’s them jili
“They’re both good teams jili
South Africa have been playing some brilliant rugby the last few weeks and are clearly on top of their game jili
“But we’ve also seen an English side that just build away quietly and are probably starting to understand how they want to play and they’re starting to get really good at how they want to play and believe in that jili
“It will be an interesting contrast of styles jili
”All Blacks wing Will Jordan ran in a hat-trick during the seven-try rout in Saint-Denis to lift him above France’s Damian Penaud as the World Cup’s leading try scorer on eight jili
The treble also saw the 25-year-old equal the record for tries in a single tournament, putting him alongside Jonah Lomu, Bryan Habana and Julian Savea jili
Foster was able to empty his bench long before the full-time whistle due to the emphatic scoreline and opted to keep the sin-binned Scott Barrett on the sidelines for around five minutes longer than required as the Kiwis finished with 14 men jili
Asked if those situations could prove advantageous moving towards the final, Foster said: “I don’t think they’ll make a massive difference jili
“Finals are finals and whoever we play, they’ll be a hundred per cent jili
“It was an opportunity for us to make sure that we looked after our resources as best we could jili
“We really didn’t see a need of putting Scooter (Barrett) back on, only from the perspective that if he had another little yellow card incident in the next five minutes, it might have made it a little bit niggly jili
”Argentina were a shadow of the side who stunned Wales in the last eight jili
A pair of first-half Emiliano Boffelli penalties was all they could muster jili
Shannon Frizell’s double, plus further tries from Jordie Barrett and Aaron Smith, added to their punishment jili
Los Pumas head coach Michael Cheika felt New Zealand ruthlessly exploited each of his team’s errors and was unhappy with some of the refereeing, particularly during first-half rucks jili
The Australian promised his players will respond to a difficult outing in the bronze-medal match jili
“It’s not a sad moment; it’s a moment when I’m actually proud of my team,” he said jili
“It’s not an easy path that we’ve been on jili
We’ve invested ourselves a lot in this jili
But we’ve lost on details jili
I’m sad for them jili
“It’s hard but its a good thing it’s hard jili
On Friday, we will be there, have no doubt jili
We will not leave this way jili
“We want to finish third jili
We’ve got things we want to show in the bronze final jili
Right now, we’re hurting jili

Referee Ben O’Keeffe has brushed off Antoine Dupont’s criticism of his performance in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final jili between France and South Africa, accepting that “players and coaches are going to say things” jili
Dupont suggested that the officiating had not been “up to the mark” in France’s narrow last eight defeat jili
O’Keeffe has subsequently been appointed to take charge of the Springboks again, with the New Zealander set to have the whistle for Saturday’s semi-final against England jili
The 34-year-old has offered a considered view on Dupont’s remarks, suggesting that such comments were always likely after a tight contest, and stressing that he still had full belief in his abilities jili
“It’s obviously a very emotional time,” O’Keeffe told New Zealand’s NewsHub on Wednesday jili
“I just try to respect that and give them space jili

I know that we’re never perfect as referees, you definitely make errors in the game jili
But comments that players can make, they can do that after the game jili
“I’m sure everything’s fine, we’ve done my review and we’ll reach out and get things back on track as well jili
But I understand the sentiment after a big match like that jili
”O’Keeffe was the youngest referee at the 2019 tournament, and has earned his first knockout appointments in France after a series of strong performances over the last couple of years jili
Saturday’s encounter at the Stade de France will be the third time he has refereed the Springboks at this tournament, having also been in charge for the pool stage defeat to Ireland jili
