"We want to start a little bit better than we did. Again we got put under a lot of pressure didn't exit that well. I think what we're enjoying is we're not panicking when things don't go right for us straight away. We perhaps had patches of that in the past but we're holding our composure." 

Talking to Sky Sport.

"Delighted. Playoff rugby... Everything's a final. To go away with a 44-6 scoreline...we were put under a lot of pressure in that game but we held our composure. I thought we were pretty clinical when we needed to be."

"We managed to get a couple of tries early and then it was a real arm-wrestle there for a while. I thought the scrum penalty right before halftime, we kicked for touch, won a few phases and Shannon Frizell scored. And then those couple of minutes after halftime when Aaron Smith scored, I thought those were really crucial moments."

All those stragglers who didn’t jump on the All Blacks’ bandwagon last week, will be scrambling to get on board now following the functional yet impressive dismantling of Argentina.

The team that was in chaos 14 months ago, losing a historic first test to Argentina in New Zealand, is now in the World Cup final and the coach who even his employer seemed to want to fire, is now 80 minutes away from writing one of the greatest redemption stories in rugby history.

Gregor Paul's thoughts on the semifinal win.

Argentina are 0/3 in World Cup semifinals.

From historic lows to the cusp of the pinnacle prize, Ian Foster’s All Blacks stand on the precipice of completing their great redemption tale.

What a defiant story that would be.

Liam Napier's full match report here.

They’re the reigning world champions. They’re the No. 1 team in the world. They’ve just dumped out the highly fancied home nation in a Rugby World Cup epic.

No wonder the Springboks are big favourites heading into their semifinal against England in Paris on Sunday NZT.

The English are trying not to think that way, though.

All Blacks captain Sam Cane said the win "means a heck of a lot" to the team. He thought the forwards worked particularly well, forcing some penalties through the setpiece dominance. 

Might be the worst graphic ever but the All Blacks are off to the final!
