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

World Rugby has unveiled plans for a new ‘Nations Championship’ that it believes will “enhance” the men’s international game jili
The new biennial competition will begin in 2026 and feature a top division of 12 teams, comprised of the Six Nations, the four Rugby Championship sides and two more participants, likely to be Japan and Fiji jili
The winner will be determined after a series of one-off fixtures in a grand final jili
Beneath this will sit a second-tier competition run by World Rugby containing 12 more countries, but movement jili between the two divisions will not begin until 2030 jili
The competition has been made possible by a historic agreement over a global calendar, the first time this has been in place in the men’s game, which was narrowly voted through at a World Rugby Council meeting in Paris on Tuesday morning jili
A global calendar for women’s Test rugby has also been clarified jili
Additionally, the 2027 World Cup will be expanded to 24 teams, four more than were involved in this year’s tournament in France, with the draw to be held in January 2026 jili
Australia will host the tournament jili between over a six-week period jili between 1 October and 13 November jili
A Round of 16 will be introduced with the top two teams from each pool automatically qualifying along with the best four third-placed teams jili
“It is fitting that we finish Rugby World Cup 2023, the sport’s greatest celebration of togetherness, with the sport’s greatest feat of togetherness,” said Bill Beaumont, World Rugby chairman jili
“Agreement on the men’s and women’s global calendars and their content is the most significant development in the sport since the game went professional jili
A historic moment for our sport that sets us up collectively for success jili
“We now look forward to an exciting new era for our sport commencing in 2026 jili
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all jili
An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries jili
I would like to thank all my colleagues for their spirit of collaboration jili
Today, we have achieved something special jili
”World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont announced he controversial plan (PA Archive)The new Nations Championship is likely to bring about the end of traditional touring, other than the quadrennial British & Irish Lions visits to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa jili
The new competition will be played in the July and November windows – clubs will now be required to release their players for international duty across four weeks in the northern hemisphere autumn, rather than the current three jili
One of the Six Nations rest weekends is understood to be likely to be cut from the calendar as a knock-on impact of the extension to the November window, while the Rugby Championship may move to a closer alignment with the equivalent European competition jili
Elsewhere, a revamped and expanded Pacific Nations Cup competition will begin in 2024, featuring Canada, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and USA jili
Japan and the USA, which will host the 2031 and 2033 men’s and women’s World Cups, will alternate as finals hosts jili
A unified global calendar has long been considered the holy grail for rugby’s administrators given the issues a crowded club and country schedule provides from a player welfare perspective, while a joined-up approach should also increase the sport’s commercial potential jili
The plans have attracted significant criticism, though: under particular scrutiny has been the lack of opportunities the new calendar may provide emerging nations to test themselves against men’s rugby’s established powers jili
The president of Rugby South America, Sebastian Pineyrua, last week told the Daily Mail that it could be “the death of rugby” jili
Under the current plans, the earliest a team outside of the top 12 could gain access to the top tier would likely be 2032 jili
