Rugby World Cup 2019: Ireland thumps Samoa to book QF spot

The Hindu  

Johnny Sexton claimed an 18-point haul as Ireland sealed its place in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals with a 47-5 thrashing of Samoa despite Bundee Aki's red card. Read: Kipchoge creates history by running sub two-hour marathon Jordan Larmour, CJ Stander and Andrew Conway added further tries in the second half, with Sexton nailing four of five conversion attempts before his replacement Joey Carbery was on target twice. Ireland holds a two-point lead over Japan and will face New Zealand or South Africa in the last-eight next weekend, while Samoa bows out with a heavy defeat and could only muster a solitary try from Jack Lam in the first half. Referee Nic Berry sent T.J. Ioane to the sin bin for not rolling away as Ireland dominated, Stander crashing over and Conway getting on the end of Carberry's kick to claim try number seven.
