Sure enough Nigel Owens calls time on the game and New Zealand are through to face Australia in next weeks semi-final
80'
New Zealand look to break through Cory Jane once again but he chips upfield and Argentina get back to defend before being pushed into touch and that should be that
78'

CONVERSION NEW ZEALAND! 33-10! Cruden lands a great conversion kick to add the extras from the right wing and there is just two minutes remaining now
77'

TRY NEW ZEALAND! 31-10! Cowan finds Jane on the right wing ... Jane chucks the ball up to Read as he is dragged into touch ... Read finds Thorn inside him and Thorn has an easy run over the line for New Zealand's second try
76'
The throw is poor and over the top and actually it's not straight either as New Zealand win a scrum to clear upfield and put play back into the middle of the park
74'
New Zealand are penalised at the breakdown and Contepomi kick play down past the 22m line as Argentine look to get a consolation try
73'

PENALTY NEW ZEALAND! 26-10! Weepu lands his seventh penalty of the night before being both named man of the match and janked off to be replaced by Jimmy Cowan. Richie McCaw is also heading off the pitch as Victor Vito comes on
71'
Fantastic tackling on McCaw as Argentine push him back behind the 10m line. New Zealand retain possession though and Creevy is penalised right out in front of the posts when he plays the ball off his feet ...
69'
Weepu misses the conversion, his first missed kick off the day, as he pulls it across the front of goal and just past the left upright but New Zealand now firmly in control of the scoreboard with only just over 10 minutes remaining
68'

TRY NEW ZEALAND! 23-10! Finally New Zealand cross the line! Kaino puts in a no look pass and the ball very nearly gets intercepted by Rodriguez but instead it reaches Read, who has a free run over the line for the try!
66'
A great kick from Weepu looks like it has been dealt with well by substitue Imhoff but the flag is up and he was just in touch ... Vergallo returns to the field after doing his time in the bin
63'
A huge All Blacks scrum ... the ball is loose ... but Leguizamon gets back to collect it and the All Blacks are penalised for joining the ruck incorrectly. Argentina will clear but only just past their own 22m line
62'
Read finds McCaw ... McCaw makes five metres before being hauled down but he finds Cruden in the tackle ... Cruden has support outside him but fails to offload and instead spills the ball forward as he goes down. Argentina again escape
59'

PENALTY NEW ZEALAND! 18-10! Weepu decides the take the three points and easily adds another three points. The All Blacks move their tally out to above a converted try
58'
No try! Somone's leg was underneath the ball as McCaw tried to get it down. Whichever Argentine player that was knew nothing about that but he has stopped McCaw from scoring a try! The will go back for the penalty though ...

McCaw thinks he has scored New Zealand's first try of the match as he gets the ball over the line and up against the post padding. Referee Owens deals with a yellow card first as he sends Vergallo to the sin bin for hands in the ruck ... now the decision will go to the TMO ...
57'
Weepu ... just five metres away now ... Kaino and McCaw are looking to get the ball out ... Mealamu ... Woodcock ... New Zealand playing advantage now ... Franks ...
55'
Weepu finds Cruden ... he breaks through and makes 50m ... he finds Nonu with a great offload in the tackle ... slow ball from the bottom of the ruck ... Weepu kicks across field for Cruden, now on the right wing ... but Rodriguez is there to shove the replacement flyhalf into touch before he can get the ball down
53'
Weepu tidies up at the back as Argentina look to get some territory ...
51'
Sonny Bill breaks down the left wing and does brilliantly well to offload despite being smashed into touch Camacho ... but Nonu spills the ball forward as he tries to collect and the move breaks down
