This ABs team is so grounded, they are deserved contenders. As a now neutral rugby fan, I hope these guys win this semi and go on to take the trophy 🏆

[@xoxo98808]

imagine being able to hear the questions

[@derekc6971]

Super proud of this AB team. The challenges they faced in 2022 and then to come to this World Cup and beat Ireland in the QF. Truly a great achievement. Win or lose this week against Argentina I would still be proud to be a AB supporter. All the best for this weekend ABs.

[@janetihaka799]

Oh hell yes those last five minutes were killing me and I was only watching. Wow I never was sooo proud of our boys. Love the game ❤❤❤❤UP THE ABS.❤

[@damo9961]

Argentina definitely can beat us. No time for complacency.

[@donjorvead2431]

Fax don't know why people are taking it easy. Argentina can pull it off if NZ take their foot off the pedal

​ @donjorvead2431 only casuals are taking this lightly

[@donjorvead2431]

@@senseisaitama8684 although Argentina had a easy run through they can easily prove people wrong.

[@Simon.e364]

They’ve beaten the Abs before, and beauden Barrett keeps kicking it aimlessly every time he gets the ball Argentina will punish them .

[@nielvanderwalt1965]

​@@Simon.e364try understand kicking 1st before you call it aimless

240 test caps between them folks. Two Hundred and f*ing Forty!!

Really no mics for the media?

Same old story bruv no point in trying,wen will it sink in?,been happening for a few years now

😂😂 Does not make much sense given all the useless ones on the table... seems like a bunch of mics ready for a camp fire 🙄

Why cant we in in 2023 hear the questions: Love the AB's

[@user-rr2om2ih7z]

big ups to the boys.

[@gregbooth1551]

Did not realise BB is 6 foot two!! wow...

[@taniagodwin2138]

Argentina are a very good side and will take confidence from France and SA defeating the ABS, but we're now into the Semi's and NZ knows what the chessboard looks like and how to topple the pawns. Argentina will give it a huge go, but they won't get through the Black defense line to be crowned King, not a chance, but Good Luck 🇦🇷

[@dionsands3113]

Minor concern with coming down from win Over Ireland, otherwise "don't cry for me Argentina"

[@janetihaka799]

.?????

[@tmaktmak1464]

These 3 Barrett’s will go on to have more All Blacks and once again play together. I hope I live to see the moment

[@1jet1]

Yes, but it is highly unlikely. This is the RWC, & when you have a highly oiled black machine just peaking, you know a can of whipass is shining at you. Sorry Argentina 🇦🇷 but I have the AB's by 16. Argentina will be able to unleash their van of whipass when they face England in the bronze match. I'm certain they will enjoy that.

[@dubemccready7438]

Yes Beauden YOU WILL BE READY Tino Kaha NZ ALL BLACKS. ❤ ❤

The last team we want to go up against fatigued, if we make it, is South Africa. Fozzie, I hope you have a contingency plan. Don't wanna fall short at the final hurdle.

[@surendemel8297]

It is, but what do you suggest they do?

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

@@surendemel8297 Depends how the Argentinian game plays out. If we can wear them out early, with a healthy margin on the scoreboard (21+ points) then we can bring on the bench otherwise it could be a long hard slog for the starting XV, I can't see what else we can do.

[@tamapere9877]

All Black high scores against Italy its a number one campion performance can destroys any team this world cup

[@sammoli8665]

Kia kaha All Blacks❤❤

[@x2y3a1j5]

As an Argie, I'm not expecting a miracle. NZ by +15. At least. More like +30. All the Pumas can do is put up a very good resistance. But we're doomed.

[@GG-yg2ze]

Cheer up. You made the semis. Thats something to hold your head high over

[@x2y3a1j5]

@@GG-yg2ze Thank you for your support! Making the semis was on the cards (not a given, though). My Pumas should have played better than this. They still would have lost, but by less. My consolation is that this ABs showed their respect by giving their best. Sure, not the same intensity than against Ireland, but they made sure my Pumas were never a threat. That, in itself, shows their respect from an AB's point of view.

[@Area51WasOurMoon]

True fact Did you know that Michael Cheika refused to say the name All Blacks?

[@okanui]

go play on the moon numb nuts.

Strange they're only the All Blacks, ALL BLACKS
