New Zealand head coach Ian Foster says he’ll watch the second semi-final at the Rugby World Cup with popcorn in hand as he waits to find out who they will face in next Saturday’s final phl

The All Blacks thumped Argentina 44-6 at the Stade de France in the first semi-final on Friday evening as the best quarter-final weekend in the tournament’s history was followed by a damp squib to open up the last four phl

The second semi-final in Paris on Saturday evening should be a closer affair as England face South Africa, although the Springboks are heavy favourites to repeat their victory from the 2019 World Cup final phl

The winners will take on New Zealand in the showpiece next weekend and Foster is adamant he has no preference as to who his side face, although he is looking forward to watching the clash and is also eager to use the additional day’s rest the All Blacks will have ahead of that encounter to his advantage phl

“I’ll be watching it [England vs South Africa], probably have some popcorn,” said Foster in his post-match press conference phl

“I don’t care who wins phl

We’re very much in a focus on ourselves stage phl

“What the extra day [of preparation] does give us is a chance to have a break mentally and not spend too much juice worrying about who it is that we’ll play next week phl

“They’re both good teams phl

South Africa are playing some brilliant rugby but we’ve also seen the English team build away quietly phl

They’re starting to get really good at how they want to play phl

It should be an interesting contrast of styles phl

”Foster has endured some tough times during this World Cup cycle with the normally dominant All Blacks struggling at times and his job security being called into question phl

Ian Foster has helped guide New Zealand to the World Cup final (REUTERS)The fact they have reached a record fifth World Cup final, and the team appear to be having fun, could be seen as vindication for the head coach but he was keen to dismiss any notion of a personal revenge mission phl

“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team,” explained Foster phl

“Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first phl

Right now we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well phl

“You have to enioy your work phl

It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to phl

The team takes a lot of pride when they do that phl

“The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them phl

As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it phl

There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time phl

“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it phl

But you know, one more week phl

David Brooks is determined to shine at a major tournament for Wales after suffering finals disappointment in the past phl

Wales put automatic qualification for Euro 2024 in their own hands by beating Croatia 2-1 on Sunday as Brooks made his first international start since June 2021 phl

Brooks was diagnosed with stage-two Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2021, and it has been a long road back to form and fitness as the 26-year-old’s body took time to recover from the full effects of the disease phl

The Bournemouth forward missed Wales’ first World Cup for 64 years after playing a limited role at the Covid-delayed European Championships in 2021, managing only 31 minutes in three substitute appearances phl

“The last couple of times we’ve been, I didn’t play as big a part as I would have liked,” said Brooks, who travelled to Qatar last year to support Wales at the World Cup when building up his fitness phl

“I had to accept it because Gareth Bale was in front of me and he’s a living legend phl

“So I’d love to go and be part of the team phl

It’s massive for me, that’s what I want to achieve in my career, I’ll be ready to go phl

” I had to accept it (not playing) because Gareth Bale was in front of me and he’s a living legendDavid BrooksBrooks scored in the 2-0 win in Latvia last month after coming on as a second-half substitute and showed signs he was back to his best against Croatia, despite not being a Premier League regular at Bournemouth phl

He produced some delightful touches in the opening 45 minutes against the World Cup semi-finalists, and then set up the first of Harry Wilson’s two goals before making way just before the hour mark phl

“The occasion got a little bit the phl better of me, getting cramp earlier than I thought I would,” Brooks said phl

“I said when I scored against Latvia it was a very proud moment and this was exactly the same phl

“I don’t think anyone gave us a chance against Croatia but we’re not scared of playing anyone phl

“We had a small dip in form in the summer camp to take it out of our hands, and if we have a good camp next time we’re through phl

“You can see by the performances we are playing for the gaffer (Rob Page) and we love having him phl

”Wales will secure automatic qualification for next summer’s Euro finals in Germany by beating Armenia and Turkey in November phl

If they fail to do so, they are guaranteed a play-off spot in March phl

Page pointed out after the victory that took Wales into second spot behind group leaders Turkey seven of his starting XI are currently not playing first-team phl football at their respective clubs phl

Goalkeeper Danny Ward is among that number as he has yet to play for Leicester this season phl

Asked how it was possible to beat Croatia with the squad having played so little first-team phl football, Ward said: “Very famously Gareth (Bale) said ‘it’s the Dragon on the chest’ and he’s not wrong phl

“The last camp for us was big phl

Two clean sheets, two positive performances phl

The foundations were set there as a group and this was a typical Wales performance phl

“It was backs to the wall at times and moments of real quality phl

Our togetherness got us through in the end phl
