The three-time world champions (1987, 2011, 2015) from New Zealand qualified for the final act of the competition, which was held in France this year.

Coached by Ian Foster, the team easily defeated Argentina after an authoritative performance.

It was 20-6 at half-time, with Boffelli converting two penalties for the Argentines, while New Zealand scored through Jordan, Munga, Barrett and Frizell.

Richie Mounga allowed himself to miss two penalties, but it did not affect the course of the game. In the second half, Argentina did not score again, and the “All Blacks” pulled away and reached the final.
