Antipodean rivals are the market leaders as final four are revealed.

New Zealand are the [1.7] favourites to win the World Cup after coming through an attritional quarter-final with Argentina today.

Old foes Australia stand in their way after beating champions South Africa in the earlier last-eight fixture.

The 33-10 scoreline suggests dominance but the reality is that it was anything but for New Zealand, who failed to threaten the handicap of -27.5pts, scoring more than half their points in the last 20 minutes.

Playing at their Eden Park stronghold the tournament favourites struggled to break the Pumas' excellent defence, scoring a brace of tries in the match - including one very late on - but mainly relying on the boot of Piri Weepu to get the job done.

Argentina even took a lead of their own halfway through the first half when Julio Farias Cabello crossed the try line after a fast break and Felipe Contepomi converted, but were unable to hold back the All Black tide over 80 minutes.

Australia were backed at a high of [4.0] in-play on Betfair when squeaking past South Africa 11-9. Betfair customers see the winner of the All Blacks-Wallabies semi going on to lift the trophy. Australia are the [5.9] tournament second favourites. Wales are in to [7.2] with France the outsiders at [9.4].
