Ordinarily, Ireland would be expected to go into a World Cup duel against the All Blacks as underdogs. This saw Ireland finishing on top of Pool B and setting up a quarter-final duel with New Zealand in the same stadium this coming Saturday (kick-off 8pm Irish time/9pm local time). Ireland Deliver Strong Performance To Overcome Scotland And Top Their PoolĪfter James Lowe had crossed the whitewash with just 63 seconds gone on the clock, Ireland withstood significant pressure from the Scotland attack to keep themselves in the ascendancy.Īdditional tries from Hugo Keenan (two) and Iain Henderson ensured a bonus point was wrapped up by the interval, but Ireland continued to inflict damage on the Scots through five-pointers from Dan Sheehan and Garry Ringrose.Īlthough Scotland bagged two tries in the space of three minutes during the final-quarter, Ireland were comfortable 36-14 winners in Saint-Denis.
