New Zealand celebrates - The Canadian PressPARIS — Wave after wave of Ireland's green jerseys threw themselves at the New Zealand line with the clock ticking down and a Rugby World Cup semifinal at stake.
“Well breathe a little bit,” New Zealand coach Ian Foster said. “We've got memories of 2019 and slipping up in the semis so we’ve got to make sure that we're in the house going for another big one .” “We are absolutely stoked. It was a crazy test match, an absolute arm wrestle," Cane said. “We don’t want to be playing with 14 men but we had to twice there. The boys dug a bit deeper.”
Back came New Zealand, with Jordan and Rieko Ioane combining to send Ardie Savea flying into the right corner. Savea stood up, crossed his arms, thumped his chest after finishing like a winger. Smith came back on just after hooker Dan Sheehan failed to catch Mack Hansen's high kick into the right corner.Lock Brodie Retallick won a lineout on the halfway line and the ball was fed to Mo’unga, who carved a hole through Ireland's midfield before offloading for Jordan to sprint into the right corner for his fifth try of the tournament.They got another break when Barnes awarded a penalty try, but New Zealand did not concede when a man down and held on for a titanic victory.
There were no victorious Irish anthems after the final whistle. But when Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” rang out, it seemed a fitting tribute to New Zealand’s incredible resilience. “They had massive expectations to perform,” Foster said. “Our role was just to be quiet and steel ourselves for the challenge we needed. I don't think we'll be under the radar next week.”
