It seems almost anticlimactic after the epic quarterfinal match-up between the All Blacks and Ireland.

Just check out the TAB odds (below). Kiwi bookies aren’t giving the Pumas a chance, and the consensus in the rugby world is that the All Blacks shouldn’t have too many issues with the Michael Cheika-coached Argentinians.

All Blacks vs Argentina.

Especially given they’ve lost their best player – Pablo Matera – to a torn hamstring, and haven’t had to contend with any of the top teams in the world in France.

But remember it’s only a little more than a year ago since they rocked Ian Foster’s All Blacks in Christchurch, recording just their second win against New Zealand in history.

Of course, the All Blacks, who must focus on recovery with a six-day turnaround after their brutal encounter with Ireland, have won 33 of the 36 tests between the nations.

The winner will face the victor of Sunday’s semifinal between world champions South Africa and England, who beat Argentina in their opening World Cup match.
