Will Jordan scored a hat-trick of tries as New Zealand outclassed Argentina on Friday to set up a World Cup final against the winner of the clash between the Boks and England.
The 44-6 result at a rainy Stade de France saw the All Blacks become the first team to reach the final of a Rugby World Cup on five occasions.
And although it was Emiliano Boffelli who opened the scoring for Argentina with a fifth-minute penalty, it was not long before New Zealand’s dominance shone through. Boffelli grabbed his second penalty after a rare show of Argentinian pressure, but Juan Martin Gonzalez handed the advantage straight back after taking out Jordan under a high ball and Mo’unga slotted the penalty.
Mo’unga’s conversion came back off the post, but at 20-6 at half time it felt as if the game was all but over as a contest.
