Ireland v New Zealand LIVE: Rugby World Cup 2023 score and result as All Blacks win epic quarter-final

The All Blacks produced a sensational performance to win an epic duel and knock out the world No 1-ranked Ireland

Ireland continue preparations for New Zealand clash

Ireland have been knocked out of the World Cup following a 28-24 quarter-final defeat to New Zealand at Stade de France.

The momentum of a tight match shifted in Ireland’s favour in the second half when they were awarded a penalty try after Codie Taylor collapsed a maul, bringing themselves back to within a point and their cause was further boosted when the All Blacks hooker was sin-binned for his infringement.

But 14-man New Zealand opened up a four-point cushion five minutes later when Jordie Barrett – who had missed a long-range attempt moments later – kicked a penalty from the 40-metre line.

Ireland, who had been playing catch-up for the majority of an exhilarating encounter, were unable to find the try they needed in the closing stages as the All Blacks held on to seal a 28-24 win and set up a last-four meeting with Argentina next Friday.

Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

70 min: Excellent by Murray, who kicks opportunistically into the corner, and then by Bundee Aki, who stays on his feet at the ruck to earn an Irish penalty. Ireland opt for the lineout and from there they surge over the try line, but Jordie Barrett does brilliantly to get a limb under the ball and hold it up – no try.

Penalty! Ireland 24-28 New Zealand (J Barrett)

68 min: Barrett misses! He pulls his kick across the posts and just wide. Sexton has a 22-kick and boots downfield.

But a moment later New Zealand have another penalty when replacement Conor Murray is adjudged to have blocked the opposing catcher under a high ball. Barrett will try again, from a more central position, and he makes this one.

Ireland 24-25 New Zealand

65 min: New Zealand have a scrum, and they are happy as Wayne Barnes fiddles with the setup, which is running down the clock on Taylor’s sin bin. The All Blacks win the penalty too, as Andrew Porter is penalised again for failing to drive straight. Jordie Barrett will kick for the posts from long distance...
