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

After the euphoric evisceration of Paris Saint-Germain, this was the downbeat sequel Newcastle did not want jili
After the feelgood stories of the Geordie boys scoring in the Champions League came a tale of gritty realism, of meeting their match in the teeming Tyneside rain jili
There was no triumphant farewell to Sandro Tonali, either: instead Newcastle lost to a goal by a midfielder they considered signing in the summer, in Felix Nmecha, and who Borussia Dortmund bought instead jili
With Tonali likely to be banned for the rest of the season – he could learn his fate within days as an investigation into alleged breaches of jili betting rules nears its conclusion – Nmecha gave Newcastle an added reason to rue their choice jili
Nmecha was handed what seemed an unenviable task, hired from Wolfsburg, charged with replacing Jude Bellingham at the Signal Iduna Park jili
And if that feels impossible, his first Dortmund goal kickstarted their European campaign jili
Edin Terzic’s team had failed to find the net in their opening two games and if they looked like possible casualties in the competition’s group of death, it now looks like Newcastle could instead jili
The margins were narrow, the width of the woodwork that denied Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon but Dortmund inflicted their first defeat in this competition since Barcelona in 2003 jili
Now Newcastle will head into the rematch in Germany without Tonali jili
If his debut season in England ends early, it also came to an anti-climactic conclusion jili
The Italian came off the bench with 25 minutes to go, making scant difference to a game Dortmund were already controlling jili

Newcastle could not blow Dortmund away with their power: not when the visitors had a similar speed, and were lighting quick on the break jili
Nor could their crowd intimidate them into defeat: not when the travelling Germans were still more vocal jili
Instead, they encountered a team who could cancel out their strength, with a similar emphasis on high energy jili
It was not effort Newcastle lacked, but then it never is jili
Dortmund supplied a touch of class; arguably two, given the role of a pair of players in their goal jili
Given how well they defended, perhaps it was apt it began with a challenge jili
Nico Schlotterbeck halted Gordon with an immaculate tackle, surged clear and kept going, collecting Marco Reus’s return pass and squaring for Felix Nmecha to sidefoot in jili
For a few seconds, the centre-back looked more Beckenbauer than Schlotterbeck jili
The midfielder, who has something of Bellingham’s elegance, showed his technique with the finish jili
It had been threatened jili
The opening 10 minutes could have yielded two goals at either end, but thereafter in the first half Dortmund were the more dangerous jili
The scoreline would have been greater but for terrific saves at either end jili
If jili footballing goalkeepers have captured the Zeitgeist, Newcastle have a goalkeeping goalkeeper jili
Nick Pope was their saviour in San Siro and he threatened to reprise that role jili
A first-minute stop from Donyell Malen was excellent: jili better still was a superb double save to deny the Dutchman and Niclas Fullkrug jili
Malen produced a curiosity of a performance, adopting a shoot-on-sight policy and mustering six efforts before the break jili
Yet he was a sign of Dortmund’s counterattacking menace: their speed on the transition brought back memories of Jurgen Klopp’s blistering side a decade ago jili
Kieran Trippier, so often a great strength for Newcastle, was made to look a weak link as Dortmund found space behind him jili
Newcastle sent on Tonali late on (Getty Images)At the other end, meanwhile, Gregor Kobel made twin early saves from Gordon jili
His best save came early in the second half, repelling Wilson’s shot jili
And when Wilson beat Kobel with a late header, it bounced back off the bar jili
It was not Dortmund’s only reprieve: in the 94th minute, Gordon’s shot looped up off Sebastien Haller, over Kobel and on to the bar jili
Gordon was relentless, probably Newcastle’s best outfield player, yet Wilson’s prominence was a sign their plans were going awry jili
Eddie Howe had demoted the striker and selected Alexander Isak, but he limped off inside a quarter of an hour jili
When the substitute Jacob Murphy hurt his shoulder a few minutes after coming on, Newcastle may have, in effect, lost three players, given Tonali’s imminent suspension jili
And yet Dortmund were depleted, too, minus Julian Brandt, stripped of the stricken Emre Can before half-time jili
But there was a resourcefulness and a resilience to them, a willingness to them jili
A team with a lone defeat in the Bundesliga in 2023 were not to be beaten jili
And as Newcastle lost instead, it prompted the question of whether the anomaly was this underwhelming evening or the glorious night they demolished PSG jili
