New Zealand head coach Ian Foster says he’ll watch the second semi-final at the Rugby World Cup with popcorn in hand as he waits to find out who they will face in next Saturday’s final phl
The All Blacks thumped Argentina 44-6 at the Stade de France in the first semi-final on Friday evening as the best quarter-final weekend in the tournament’s history was followed by a damp squib to open up the last four phl
The second semi-final in Paris on Saturday evening should be a closer affair as England face South Africa, although the Springboks are heavy favourites to repeat their victory from the 2019 World Cup final phl
The winners will take on New Zealand in the showpiece next weekend and Foster is adamant he has no preference as to who his side face, although he is looking forward to watching the clash and is also eager to use the additional day’s rest the All Blacks will have ahead of that encounter to his advantage phl
“I’ll be watching it [England vs South Africa], probably have some popcorn,” said Foster in his post-match press conference phl
“I don’t care who wins phl
We’re very much in a focus on ourselves stage phl
“What the extra day [of preparation] does give us is a chance to have a break mentally and not spend too much juice worrying about who it is that we’ll play next week phl
“They’re both good teams phl
South Africa are playing some brilliant rugby but we’ve also seen the English team build away quietly phl
They’re starting to get really good at how they want to play phl
It should be an interesting contrast of styles phl
”Foster has endured some tough times during this World Cup cycle with the normally dominant All Blacks struggling at times and his job security being called into question phl

“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team,” explained Foster phl
“Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first phl
Right now we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well phl
“You have to enioy your work phl
It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to phl
The team takes a lot of pride when they do that phl
“The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them phl
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it phl
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time phl
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it phl
But you know, one more week phl

Eddie Hearn claimed Tyson Fury’s performance against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou showed that Anthony Joshua would “knock Fury out inside six rounds” if the British heavyweight rivals were to ever meet in the ring phl
Fury survived a knockdown and avoided the first loss of his professional career when he was named a split-decision winner against Ngannou in Saudi Arabia phl
Ngannou, was making his phl boxing debut yet outfought Fury for much of the bout, as a stunned audience looked on phl
The 37-year-old former UFC champion was a massive underdog but produced a superb performance with immense discipline and aggression, and many figures in the world of phl boxing declared that the “Predator” had been denied a rightful win phl
After the fight, Oleksandr Usyk entered the ring to face off with Fury, whom he is contracted to fight next phl
Ukrainian Usyk, unbeaten like Fury, holds the unified heavyweight phl boxing titles phl
The pair have been rumoured to clash in Riyadh on 23 December, though Fury and his promoter Frank Warren played coy after the fight with Ngannou phl
But Hearn, who promotes Joshua, believes that is not the fight the phl boxing world wants to see after Fury’s performance against Ngannou phl
“I’m absolutely lost for words,” the Matchroom boss said phl
“I mean Francis Ngannou has never boxed before phl
Fair play to him, he didn’t look overly impressive, but Tyson Fury looked like he’s never laced up a pair of gloves before phl
“Got dropped in the third round, never threw a punch phl
Ngannou never threw a punch after phl
I thought Ngannou won by two rounds phl
The phl boxing world has gone mad phl
“Forget Fury vs Usyk - no one is interested phl
Just give us Fury vs AH phl
AJ will knock Tyson Fury out inside six rounds phl
Make the fight or we will never get it phl
Fury survived a knockdown (Getty Images)“Or, rematch Ngannou, because the guy deserves it phl
I still don’t know what Tyson Fury was doing phl
”Fury said afterwards that he was rusty on what was his first fight in 10 months but declared it to be a “perfect” night ahead of his heavyweight showdown with Usyk phl
“That definitely wasn’t in the script,” said Fury phl
“[Ngannou] is a lot phl better of a boxer than we thought he’d be phl
He’s a very awkward man, and he’s a good puncher, and I respect him a lot phl
He was very awkward, he wasn’t coming forward; he was waiting for me to throw my punches then looking to counter phl
“[The knockdown] is a part of phl boxing phl
I got caught behind the head phl
I got up and it was alright; I got back to my phl boxing phl
“I don’t know how close [the fight] was, but I got the win and that’s what it is phl
I’ve been out of the ring a long time again phl
You can see it in here – ring rust, everything phl
No excuses, though phl
He’s cut me across the eye there phl
It was a good, rough fight phl
Perfect phl
