What channel is Argentina v New Zealand Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-finals on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Argentina v New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-finals, including TV details and more.
Argentina surprised Wales in the quarter-finals, fighting back from what seemed like certain elimination to send the pre-match favourites home thanks to two tries in the last 12 minutes.
They’ll be even bigger underdogs now that they face New Zealand, who edged past Ireland in a thrilling encounter in their quarter-final.
Argentina head coach Michael Cheika cut a calm figure before the Wales game, content to embrace their tag as underdogs and do their talking on the pitch. His side took an early beating from Wales, one that suggested the Welsh would sail through to the semis.
However, the South Americans made an inspiring comeback, culminating in Nicolás Sánchez picking off Sam Costelow’s pass three minutes from full-time and scoring under the posts.
Ian Foster and the All Blacks won’t take Los Pumas lightly – no team that reaches this stage of the tournament does so on luck.
The All Blacks have developed their own underdog mentality, having not been considered as tournament favourites in the same vein as France or Ireland, but after downing the latter they’ll be tipped to make the final.
Either way, all the pressure will be on the Kiwis in this match.

Argentina v New Zealand key player to watch
Ardie Savea (New Zealand)
The No.8 was one of New Zealand’s standout players in the quarter-final, as he often is. The Argentine pack may not offer the same problems that Ireland did on paper, but Savea’s skills and industriousness will be crucial if the ABs are to reach the final once again.
