re: Rugby World Cup: England Beats Fiji & Goes Through to Semi-Finals
Ireland Crash OUT of World Cup Following Agonizing New Zealand Defeat
Ireland suffered a narrow 28-24 defeat against New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final at the Stade de France on Saturday night.

Ireland 24 New Zealand 28
Irelands' Rugby World Cup dream is over following an agonizing 28-24 defeat against New Zealand at the Stade de France on Saturday night.
It represents yet another quarter-final defeat for the Irish team at a Rugby World Cup, who have never made it past the last eight at the competition and have not led in a World Cup quarter-final since 1995.
This year was supposed to be different, though. Ireland are the number-one-ranked side in the world and had topped their pool having beaten world champions South Africa in a titanic tussle at the end of September. They had won 17 games in a row coming into this clash with the All Blacks, including two games against Saturday night's opponents.
