Ireland confirms Rugby World Cup quarterfinal with All Blacks. England avoid upset, Wales lose star

Associated Press  

PARIS — Top-ranked Ireland confirmed a Rugby World Cup quarterfinal after blitzing Scotland by six tries and 36-14 on Saturday. This one was never close as Ireland cruised to a 17th straight win — one win behind the tier one world record — and led 36-0 before Scotland’s two tries. England gathered its scrambled senses from 17-8 down against Samoa and avoided one of the greatest Rugby World Cup upsets by edging a thrilling pool match in Lille. It’s doubtful whether Anscombe will be fit in a week, and Wales’ usual starting 10 Dan Biggar was already carrying a damaged pectoral muscle from against Australia two weeks ago.
