Who will bag the first ticket to the grand final? Friday evening (9 p.m.), New Zealand and Argentina will cross swords at the Stade de France. Winners of an already legendary match against Ireland (28-24) in the quarter, the All Blacks are favored by the forecasts to reach a 5th world final in their history. Facing them, the Pumas hope to create the feat after taking out Wales (29-17) in style. Beaten twice at this stage of the competition (2007, 2015), the Argentines want to defeat the Indian sign but a black mountain stands in their way.
The Argentina-New Zealand semi-final can be followed this Friday, October 20 from 9 p.m. on TF1 but also live with commentary on our Figaro website with all the information from our special correspondents present at the Stade de France.
