Credit to Argentina for getting this far they did the best they could but just aren't at, maybe even close, to the Kiwi's level when they are playing at their best.
It is too bad that the SF's couldn't have been a crossover with the two losers of the good QF's playing the two winners. NZ-France, SA-Ireland would have been great match-ups to watch, instead as mentioned the SF's are basically just warm-up games. Hopefully that means that both SA and NZ will be rested up and ready for a full strength match in the final.
