Rugby World Cup 2019: New Zealand 46-14 Ireland

The Hindu  

New Zealand remains right on course to retain the Rugby World Cup after it eased through to the semifinals with a 46-14 thrashing of Ireland at Tokyo Stadium on Saturday. READ | England thrashes Australia 40-16 to enter semis It had won two of the past three meetings between the teams but hopes of further success disappeared during an error-strewn opening half, New Zealand scoring 22 points without reply to make the result a formality with 40 minutes still left to play. Aaron Smith darted over twice from close range in the first quarter, and even when Ireland did eventually threaten with ball in hand on the half-hour, miscommunication between Johnny Sexton and Keith Earls coughed up possession and New Zealand ruthlessly made it pay, Richie Mo'unga initially hacking the loose ball on before leaving it for Beauden Barrett to finish. New Zealand remain right on course to retain the Rugby World Cup after they eased through to the semifinals with a 46-14 thrashing of Ireland in Toyko.
