Top-ranked Ireland confirmed a Rugby World Cup quarterfinal after blitzing Scotland by six tries and 36-14 on Saturday.
Ireland topped Pool B ahead of defending champion South Africa, which it beat 13-8 in a titanic contest two weeks ago.
The Irish have never passed the quarters and they face three-time champion New Zealand when they return to Stade de France next Saturday.Underdog Scotland had to win and deny the Irish a bonus point to advance at Ireland's expense. Instead, coach Gregor Townsend's side slumped meekly to a record-tying ninth straight defeat against Ireland.
The third try soon after was almost too easy when Iain Henderson picked up the ball after scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park was held up on the line, and burrowed over.
