In a way it's genius. It's subtle but it gives a definite advantage to the NZ jackler. Also clear that Argentina haven't realised it's worth copying too.Exactly….as soon as you see it you can’t unsee itIt’s both blatant but very sneaky at the same time

Hopefully England can make a better game of it tomorrow. They are better than Argentina but, for me, SA are better than NZ.
Mexican waves now. In a World Cup semi final. Well done RFU.
I know we blame them for a lot of things, but I don't think this is on England
And you were helped by playing against 14 for a quarter of the match too.
Ah sure why not blame them? Can’t be arsed checking. What‘a the rugby equivalent of FIFA?I know we blame them for a lot of things, but I don't think this is on England
NZ straight to ground in that scrum but given a penalty. Scrums should just be free kicks at this point as even refs have no idea whats going on in them.
Yeah, absolutely. @Pogue Mahone and I have said enough about it anyway (more Pogue then me in fairness
)Sticking up for England now?I know we blame them for a lot of things, but I don't think this is on England
Noted
I don’t think I’ve heard them complain about it either, or the commentators mention it. So fair play to the ABs, it’s worked perfectly
NZ probably shouldn't have committed yellow card offences so but yeah we just failed to hit our usual level. Bound to happen at some point in 20 odd games I suppose.
You mean you won’t be rooting for your northern hemisphere bros tomorrow? Lions teammates? Home nations buddies?
I won't be but I do hope you can make it a better match than this. I'm scared we'd never hear the end of it though if you come close to winning!!
Lol no.
Hello? Sorry, who is this? I can't quite hear you. Very bad line.
NZ emptying their bench. And just nonchalantly bring on Damien McKenzie...
How is Christie over Roigard? Stevie Wonder can see the difference in ability.
he’s bloody starved of a semi final. can’t blame him.
Sorry. Sorry. Let me try that again.
……I’ll take that as a no then
What interesting multiculturalism NZ has.
Huge, chiselled, sculpted and tattoo’d maori 6ft 6 beast alongside a wee ginger guy.

The only impact Argentina can have now is if they crock some of the players that NZ don't take off.
As much as it looks effortless for the All-Blacks, the Pumas have been atrocious on their own.
Shame that Japan couldn't beat that lot in the final group stage match.

Don't know if this 'lazy' defensive ruck tactic will work for NZ against SA, if they play in the final. Seems a sure fire way for your players to get nailed by a massive South African hit.
that’s in my pornhub favourites.
I was at least nice about it!
I’ll just say this my green pals…..you’d better fecking hope the boks win, or I’ll be an insufferable cnut even by my own extremely high standards 
You were mate, you were
If you get smashed tomorrow I'm claiming Ireland made a semi final!I’ll just say this my green pals…..you’d better fecking hope the boks win, or I’ll be an insufferable cnut even by my own extremely high standards
Scott Barrett just can't help himself.
Unless there's some absolutely outlandish shenanigans, I think we're safe enough.I’ll just say this my green pals…..you’d better fecking hope the boks win, or I’ll be an insufferable cnut even by my own extremely high standards
Yeah where this won't work will be if SA realise and the SA clearer nails them on the way to the ruck. Because they're trying to look nonchalant they're in a relaxed upright position, sideways to the ruck, and primed to get a knee injury if they're smashed.
Oh don't worry, we all saw that.
I was all ready to claim England did on account of Andy Farrell….but he didn’t….then the actually England team did
