NEW ZEALAND'S Rugby World Cup stars have prepared for their semi-final by lifting a three-tonne Land Rover.

Members of the All Blacks team were caught on camera moving the vehicle this week.


The squad are currently preparing to take on Argentina at the Stade de France on Friday night.

However, their plans were disrupted after a 2,400kg Land Rover blocked their coach.

In order to deal with the problem, several players jumped off the bus to lift the car out of the way.

Their amazing feat of strength was filmed and shared on the team's social media channels, showing the players shifting the vehicle.

Ahead of the match, head coach Ian Foster has played down suggestions his side have gone "under the radar" so far.

"All the talk (in the build-up) was about Ireland but it's not a place we want to be. We know Argentina well. They're tough."

The All Blacks lost their opening pool match to host nation France before thrashing Namibia, Italy and Uruguay to advance from the group.

Last Saturday's 28-24 victory over Ireland then secured their place in the final four.
