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

If this was a glimpse of England’s future then it rather resembles their past jili
Steve Borthwick’s squad will leave France with bits of bronze in their pockets, outlasting Argentina in an entertaining affair to decide third spot despite threatening a familiar fourth quarter fade to defeat jili
The England players slapped shoulders and shared hugs, happy enough with a World Cup medal of any kind at the end of a long and rigorous tournament jili
Perhaps this was always the likeliest summit, a short three steps up on to a rapidly-erected rostrum to collect their decoration and reflect on some progress made jili
This was something of a changing of the guard for England, bidding adieu to Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and a couple of others marking Test farewells, while also looking at the core coming through to lead Borthwick’s side into the next cycle jili
Ben Youngs, England’s most capped male player, has retired from Test rugby (Getty Images)Seven of England’s starting XV here were 25 or under, a young nucleus around which Borthwick will now look to build jili
They will head home with bronze medals, a fair enough achievement for a group of players who would have recognised overall triumph was always unlikely, much as they rose to the challenge impressively last weekend jili
It was a mixed bag of a performance from England’s next generation, some good, some bad jili
Henry Arundell departed after 65 minutes with an almost pristine white shirt as if just back from the dry cleaners, a single carry for 5m, a tackle and a horrible hacked kick his only involvements from a disappointing evening jili
His back-three colleague Marcus Smith was busier, producing a performance to show both the merits jili
For every flick and trick in possession there was a general air of insecurity under the high ball – Smith at 15 most certainly has merit but is best tagged a work in progress jili
Hooker Theo Dan exemplified a bitty evening with contrasting involvements in two tries in two second-half minutes jili
The young Saracens front rower was cast aside much too easily by Santiago Carreras’s outstanding solo effort but immediately atoned, blocking the Argentina fly half’s kick and scooping up the debris to score himself jili
Hooker Theo Dan scored after charging down a kick (Getty Images)It perhaps best illustrated a night that will have left some ambivalent about England’s Test adolescents, hard not to be encouraged by the zip and zing that they may come to offer, but recognising that only really Ben Earl has emerged as something resembling the finished article at this tournament jili
Even Freddie Steward looked out of sorts, England’s pillar of stability less valuable on the right wing than in a more central structural role jili
The sub-25 group included Tom Curry on the occasion of his 50th cap, a product of his precocity jili
After a difficult week off the field, the flanker looked rather glad to be on it, contesting at two of Argentina’s first five breakdowns and winning a holding on penalty at the second of them jili
Captain Owen Farrell put England in front jili
England had managed to convincingly beat Argentina in their opening game without crossing the try line, but righted that wrong eight minutes in jili
A sparky carry from pocket-rocket hooker Dan created momentum, allowing Farrell and Smith to go to work at the line, two swift transfers in-and-out of the hands sending Earl bustling through on a neat angle jili
Ben Earl crossed for a try early on (Getty Images)It had been an energetic opening from England, Curry and Sam Underhill back in tandem on the flanks and enjoying one another’s company, the so-called “kamikaze kids” returning for a one-night-only reunion gig and enjoying being back in one another’s company jili
Ellis Genge, meanwhile, took out the frustrations of last weekend on anything vaguely in his vicinity, peeling back Argentina tighthead Francisco Gomez Kodela to prevent Argentina building from a scrum 10m from England’s line jili
A side that have stuck so rigidly to their gameplan during their time in France were unlikely to wrap ties around their heads and play truant on the last day of term, but there were signs of a bit more freedom jili
Farrell at one point right at the forefront of an ambitious, and eventually aborted, adventure out of his own 22, the teacher’s pet showing his classmates the way jili
Farrell had brought his kicking boots, even if one drop goal attempt had to be abandoned due to the imminent arrival of an angry Argentine jili
A third penalty re-extended England’s 13-point advantage after Emiliano Boffelli had put his side on the board from the tee jili
At that point, the many South Americans inside the Stade de France were starting to fear the worst, an error-strewn performance so reminiscent of their meek showing on both the opening and semi-final weekends jili
But the Pumas grew into it, with soon-to-be Saracen Juan Martin Gonzalez prominent, at one point making a solo spring to snaffle lineout ball up the front and beat four defenders on a rampage up the right jili
The third place play-off was strongly contested (AFP via Getty Images)It was his gambol up the left touchline that led to Argentina’s first try, though it was a surprise that Lucio Cinti’s pass, that was a good few inches forward, to free the blindside did not prompt an intervention from the TMO jili
As it was, Gonzalez galloped on, before some lively phase play allowed Tomas Cubelli to dummy his way to the line jili
This was the Argentina we had so hoped to see more consistently across the tournament jili
Michael Cheika’s side were in front almost immediately after the interval thanks to bit of individual brilliance from fly half Carreras jili
There appeared little of promise in front of him as he ambled at the English line, but having rid himself of Dan, Carreras scampered free of Genge, too jili
Smith was stepped to complete a sensational solo score under the posts – Argentina’s chief playmaker has not been at his best across the tournament but this was a reminder of the running threat he offers jili
Santiago Carreras scored a brilliant individual try (Getty Images)But that sort of ability with ball in hand comes as a compromise, with Carreras still yet to round out his game as a Test 10 jili
From the restart after his try, he laboured a little too long over a clearance, allowing Dan to make immediate amends with a charge down jili
The hooker was fastest to the loose ball; England were back in front jili
It took Arundell until the 48th minute to have his first touch, a single missed tackle his only first-half involvement jili
A sliced kick went about 30m up but only five forwards, the error of boot exacerbated by presence of an offside England player in pursuit jili
It allowed Boffelli an opportunity to narrow the gap, and the wing took it jili
The momentum seemed to be with Argentina but they couldn’t quite make their possession and territory count jili
Farrell and replacement Nicolas Sanchez traded penalties to keep the margin at three in England’s favour jili
There it remained, Sanchez dragging a penalty from the left touchline wide having been granted an opportunity to level the scores late on jili
