In a captivating match at the Stade de France, the New Zealand All Blacks emerged victorious, defeating Ireland 28-24 to secure a spot in the World Cup semi-finals. Led by tries from Leicester Fainga’anuku, Ardie Savea, and Will Jordan, along with precise kicking from Richie Mo’unga and Jordie Barrett, the All Blacks ended Ireland’s 17-test winning streak. Despite Ireland’s efforts, which included tries by Bundee Aki and Jamison Gibson-Park, as well as points from Johnny Sexton’s boot, they consistently trailed the All Blacks. This marked the end of Ireland’s World Cup campaign, as they have never advanced beyond the quarter-finals in the tournament’s history. The All Blacks will now face Argentina in the semi-finals as they seek their fourth World Cup title.
