Argentina say they have rightfully earned their place in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals in Paris.
Los Pumas will face three-time champions New Zealand in the first semi-final of the weekend in the French capital tonight. The Argentines have won only two of the 36 tests between the two rugby nations so far.However, All Blacks coach Ian Foster says this counts for nothing on the night. “We’re massively respectful of Argentina. We know that they’ve had a great tournament. We don’t live in the past too much, in terms of past results – because World Cup tournaments really are about the present.
The selection is the most experienced in Springbok history, with a combined total of 895 caps. 15 of the 23 played against England in the 32-12 victory in the final four years ago in Japan. It is also only the second time that Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus have named an identical line-up in 64 Tests since they took charge of the team in 2018. Nienaber opted for the same squad following their performance in the quarter-final against France last week in Paris.
