PARIS — New Zealand bulldozed through Argentina 44-6 on Friday to reach the Rugby World Cup final for a record fifth time.
The All Blacks will bid for a record fourth title against defending champion South Africa or England, who play their semifinal on Saturday.
New Zealand got here the hard way, making 226 tackles to see off Ireland 28-24 in a cliffhanger quarterfinal last weekend. Los Pumas rallied to beat Wales 29-17. The Pumas hit back when No. 8 Facundo Isa returned from some treatment and, after a couple of big carries, Boffelli’s second penalty closed the gap.
