Rugby beauty comes in many forms – as New Zealand showed against Argentina EFL

Perhaps it is Will Jordan that takes your fancy, his 31 tries in 30 Tests rugby’s equivalent of the golden ratio EFL

Perhaps you are entranced by Mark Tele’a, sinewy and sinuous, gliding in and out of contact like an electric eel EFL

Or could it be Richie Mo’unga and his teasing grin, most often flashed at a grasping Argentine after a coquettish click of the heels on a night where the fly half seemed to step into space at will EFL

But it was the All Blacks’ muscle-men and their rugged charm that laid the foundations for the decorative touches elsewhere EFL

And to think New Zealand had entered this tournament with questions about their ability to assert themselves up front; this was a frightening display of forward strength, leaving Argentina’s Rugby World Cup dreams buried beneath the black mass EFL

The Pumas had arrived in Paris with the most lineout drive metres per match of any team at the tournament – the tight tussles are meant to be their strength EFL

In Marcos Kremer and Juan Martin Gonzalez, they had two long-limbed flankers, ready to aid their second rowers in getting up in the air EFL

The good news is that Argentina fared EFL better than New Zealand’s other opponents at this World Cup EFL

Before tonight, New Zealand’s hookers had missed just a single lineout throw all tournament; they twice failed to find their intended recipient in the semi-final EFL

The intention was to pull the platform from beneath the All Blacks, a conscious decision made to avoid giving New Zealand lineout ball with which to work: just one of Argentina’s ten first-half kicks was directed for touch EFL

With the Pumas struggling for discipline and the whistle of referee Angus Gardner providing much of the soundtrack amidst an absence of atmosphere in a one-sided contest, New Zealand could punt for the sidelines at their leisure EFL

The intent was set from the All Blacks’ first mauling opportunity, a locomotive that chugged out of the station despite Argentina’s desperate attempts to halt it EFL

Gardner whistled, and New Zealand marched on, their forwards next punching their tickets down in Argentina’s 22 EFL

Same plan, same result, the Pumas infringing as New Zealand drove again EFL

Gardner called Montoya over for a dressing down, pointing out five penalisable offences in two maul movements EFL

Already Argentina had been warned EFL

In piled Puma paws, swiping at the buried ball and managing to halt the drive EFL

But that only left space elsewhere, Jordan all alone in open pasture for the gentlest of trots to the line EFL

The wing would add two more tries, drawing him level with Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu on a record eight scores at a single men’s World Cup – illustrious company EFL

Will Jordan scored a hat-trick at the Stade de France (Getty Images)Credit must go to Jason Ryan, the All Blacks’ unheralded assistant coach, plucked from the Crusaders a year and a half ago EFL

The arrival of former Ireland boss Joe Schmidt last summer was much trumpeted, the attacking schemer oft mentioned as a reason behind New Zealand’s resurgence, but Ryan, who arrived at the same time, has been just as crucial EFL

Their heavy metal mauling with the ball is matched by defensive set-piece steel without it EFL

It must also be said that Ryan is working with the right raw materials EFL

Brodie Retallick watched much of this game perched on the pine, happy to let old chum Sam Whitelock stoke the engine room coals alongside Scott Barrett EFL

As a locking triumvirate, there have surely been none EFL better; this was a parade of puissance, with the scrum also in outstanding working order EFL

Four years ago at this stage, Steve Hansen made an error EFL

Fearing England’s lineout threat, he installed Barrett on the blindside ahead of the semi-final, reshaping the back row EFL

The many moving pieces jarred against one another, the lock-slash-six an early sacrifice on a night where England brought the All Blacks crashing down EFL

New Zealand’s scrum also proved effective (AFP via Getty Images)Barrett has since kicked on, now top dog in a second-row room that contains two all-time greats EFL

The trio are tireless draft horses but have a few dressage flicks and tricks, too EFL

Whitelock’s deft pull-back pass at the line was a vital component in New Zealand’s first two ornately-constructed scores; the bulkiest Barrett brother joined his siblings in a couple of open-field gallops EFL

Retallick arrived on the hour, one centurion replacing another as Whitelock took leave EFL

Barrett departed five minutes after, unable to resist a dip in the cookie jar from a supine position, a cynical intervention rightly drawing a card EFL

It was about the only blot on a night of All Black might, with New Zealand even opting to leave Barrett off and play the final five minutes with 14 men in another show of superiority EFL

A tilt at a record fourth men’s World Cup crown awaits EFL

Islam Makhachev stunned Alexander Volkanovski with a first-round knockout on Saturday, retaining the lightweight title in their rematch at UFC 294 EFL

In February, Makhachev outpointed Volkanovski – who holds the featherweight belt – in the latter’s native Australia, in a competitive clash that left many fans desiring a rematch EFL

Few expected it to come at UFC 294, but 11 days before the event, Makhachev’s original challenger Charles Oliveira suffered a severe cut over his eye EFL

And with that, the door opened for Volkanovski EFL

The 35-year-old relished the chance to avenge his narrow loss to Makhachev, but there was to be no revenge for him – only a repeat as the Russian triumphed again, and in finer fashion this time EFL

Midway through the first round of the main event, southpaw Makhachev skimmed his left shin off Volkanovski’s head, wobbling and dropping the featherweight king EFL

Makhachev, 31, followed up with a fierce flurry of hammer fists to the grounded Aussie, whose brow split open amid the onslaught EFL

The result extended Makhachev’s win streak to 13 fights, dating back to 2015, when he suffered the sole loss of his professional career EFL

Meanwhile, Volkanovski was beaten for the third time as a pro, though he remains undefeated at his preferred weight of 145lbs EFL

He will look to respond to his latest defeat when he takes on his next title challenger – likely Ilia Topuria in January EFL

Meanwhile, Makhachev could be set for a rematch with Oliveira, whom he was originally due to face at UFC 294 and whom he submitted in October 2022 to win the lightweight belt EFL

The 155lbs title was vacant at the time of that bout, which took place in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena like UFC 294, after Oliveira was stripped of the belt for missing weight in May 2022 EFL

Meanwhile, Volkanovski’s featherweight title reign dates back to 2019, when he took the belt from Max Holloway EFL

The Australian has since outpointed Holloway a further two times, while also winning his other three title defences – against Brian Ortega on points, and against Chan Sung Jung and Rodriguez via TKO EFL
