After a late-in-the-game comeback from Argentina against Wales and a knife-edge match-up between France and South Africa this World Cup has already had us on the edge of our seats.
Friday at 8 pm - Argentina vs New Zealand - Stade de France
The World No.8 side Argentina, who reached the RWC Semi-Finals in 2007 and 2015, are taking on the 3-time champions New Zealand. With only one change to the team sheet from last weekend, Bertranou for Cubelli at scrum-half, Argentina are hoping to replicate their score against Wales. New Zealand has taken a different approach with an overhaul of last week's team sheet. Tele'a is starting after Fainga'anuku was dropped for disciplinary reasons. Whitelock returns to the second row, leaving Retallick on the bench. Taukei'aho is on the bench as replacement hooker as Coles drops out.
Saturday at 8 pm - England vs South Africa - Stade de France
The defending champions South Africa may feel some deja vu this Saturday with a repeat of the finals from Japan in the last World Cup. Since South Africa came out on top then, I'm sure England are trying to not let it cross their minds. South Africa obviously feel good where they are as they are fielding an identical team sheet from their Quarter Final match-up against France. England are making a few changes with Marler (loosehead prop) and Martin (lock) starting and demoting Genge and Chessum to the bench. Steward is called up to full-back replacing Smith who has been removed from the team sheet altogether.
