Rugby World Cup semi-final: Argentina v New Zealand
Argentina: (6) 6
Pen: Boffelli 2
New Zealand: (20) 44
Tries: Jordan 3, J Barrett, Frizell 2, Smith Con: Mo'unga 3 Pen: Mo'unga

Will Jordan scored an impressive hat-trick as seven-try New Zealand crushed Argentina at Stade de France to reach a record fifth Rugby World Cup final.

The three-time winners were disciplined in defence and ruthless in attack as Jordan, Jordie Barrett and Shannon Frizell scored first-half tries.

Aaron Smith added a fourth after the break before Frizell crossed again and Jordan became the leading try scorer.

The All Blacks will face either South Africa or England in next week's final.

Argentina, playing in their third World Cup semi-final, saw lots of the ball in the opening stages without penetrating the New Zealand defence.

Michael Cheika's side were limited to two Emiliano Boffelli penalties as the All Blacks soaked up the early pressure before cutting loose on the counter-attack.

 

 

The All Blacks could have surpassed their own record for the biggest winning margin in a World Cup semi-final late on, but Richie Mo'unga spurned the opportunity.
