The All Blacks will be there. At the end of an exceptionally intense match, New Zealand got the better of Ireland to win this quarter-final at the top (28-24), Saturday October 14 at the Stade de France. More opportunistic at the start of the match, capable of breaking through the iron defense of the XV of Clover and resisting in numerical inferiority, Ian Foster’s men qualified for the fourth time in a row for the last four of a World Cup. They will face Argentina, who fell earlier in the day to Wales (29-17).

For Ireland, the world’s leading nation, the cool sky of Paris fell on its head. The nation most often beaten in the quarter-finals in the history of the World Cup, it once again comes up against its glass ceiling and will not see the semi-finals.
