Rugby World Cup: Highlights day 23<\/h3>\n

The All Blacks are using their 2019 World Cup semi-final mugging by England to ward off the threat of over-confidence ahead of Friday night\u2019s last-four clash with Argentina. Having beaten Ireland at the quarter-final stage just like four years ago only to plateau the week after, New Zealand want to make sure lightning does not strike twice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s something some of us have already been thinking about,\u201d said New Zealand defence coach Scott MacLeod. \u201cI guess an answer from me would be the way we prepare during that week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought last week our detail and our energy and our focus was top class and it gave the players confidence to go out and execute. In 2019 we didn’t do that as well in our week leading into England.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a couple of bits and pieces there – our captain Kieran Read couldn’t train and there were disruptions. So, we have to make sure that we don’t have those disruptions and we build the week with the quality and the focus that we did last week.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Zealand will start overwhelming favourites against opponents they have lost to just twice in 36 meetings but centre Jordie Barrett insists they will not take the Pumas lightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not getting ahead of ourselves,\u201d said Barrett. \u201cThey have scored plenty of points in the last fortnight and they are a quality team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The All Blacks paid a classy tribute to the retiring Johnny Sexton after crushing Ireland’s World Cup dreams. Their official account on X, formerly Twitter, wrote: \u201cA legend of the game. You\u2019ve had a stellar career, Johnny. Thank you for all the battles over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irish number eight Jack Conan admitted: \u201cHe cares so much and he sacrifices so much and it doesn\u2019t feel right that we couldn\u2019t do it for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my eyes, he is the greatest Irish player of all time for what he has done and it\u2019s been an incredible joy of mine to play with him for so many years and to have been in so many dressing rooms with him. It\u2019s just not right that we couldn\u2019t do better for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
