New Zealand vs Argentina tips and suggested bets: All Blacks to hunt down the Pumas in World Cup semi-final
New Zealand meet Rugby Championship rivals Argentina in the first World Cup semi-final on Friday evening in Paris (2000 BST).
Argentina already own a Test victory over New Zealand this year but are the decided underdogs in this contest.
While they fought through Wales despite losing talisman Pablo Matera, Argentina are unlikely to be able to upset the odds at the Stade De France.
New Zealand's choice to deploy three kickers makes it nearly impossible to pick who might get their first points on the board.
As for who will get the first try, in most All Blacks teams your money would be on a winger and Will Jordan has been in prolific touch throughout the tournament.
Mark Telea is on the other wing and has a point to prove after being stood down last week for discipline issues. Telea might be good for the combination of scoring a try and going into the sin bin.

The boot of Emiliano Boffelli is likely to provide the Pumas with their first points of the game.
If Argentina are to upset New Zealand, you would expect a high penalty count against the All Blacks, which is something to consider if you fancy backing the Pumas to win.
Argentina are offered at generous odds for the win by most sportsbooks, with some more generous than others.
This is a long shot, but considering the win earlier this season and the strange Rugby World Cup we've had, the Pumas might be worth a cheeky punt, if you are feeling brave.
Juan Martín Gonzalez has done well to fill the No. 6 jersey for the Pumas, but the absence of Matera, who has spent time playing in New Zealand for the Crusaders, will be felt
However, head will have to rule over heart on this one for me, and it's New Zealand all the way.
This is a dangerous New Zealand team, and they are pushing tournament favourites South Africa for the crown, considering the momentum they built with their win over Ireland.
New Zealand might be worth an early punt on tournament winner before the semi-finals are done and dusted.
