Ireland vs New Zealand Prediction: History set to repeat itself

At the Stade de France in Paris, one of the quarterfinal matches of the Rugby World Cup will feature a matchup between Ireland and New Zealand. Ireland are the favorites to win this matchup, but New Zealand will be hoping to beat Ireland for the first time despite their history of losing to Ireland. Look at this page for the complete forecast.

Ireland - too good to be stunned by the All Blacks

On Saturday night, Ireland will face New Zealand in a heavyweight matchup, and they will be hoping to end their losing streak in the quarterfinals of the Rugby World Cup. To this point in the competition, Andy Farrell's team has been nothing short of spectacular. They have breezed through what appeared to be challenging challenges with flying colors, claiming victories over South Africa and Scotland to take first place in Pool B in impressive fashion. Ireland has reached the quarterfinal round of the World Cup for the fourth consecutive time and for the eighth time overall; however, they have never advanced to the semifinal stage in any of their previous appearances at the tournament. The uneven structure of the draw requires them to produce another decisive victory if they are to break new ground. The All Blacks are hoping to avoid missing out on the semi-finals for only the second time in the history of the competition.

New Zealand - All Black hoping to rewrite history

However, despite suffering a loss to France in the opening game of the competition, New Zealand has shown a strong response, which was to be expected. Although they have built up huge wins against Namibia, Italy, and Uruguay, they are about to face the team that is currently ranked first in the world, so this is a significant step up for them. After New Zealand's dominant performance against Uruguay, head coach Ian Foster had some difficult decisions to make regarding his team's lineup. While Leicester Fainga'anuku scored a hat trick to strengthen his cause for a place in the squad as the knockout phases of the competition began, Damian McKenzie in particular was in excellent form. The knockout stages are when things start to get serious for both teams. The fact that All Blacks captain Sam Cane was able to make his first start of the tournament after recovering from a back injury was a huge boost for the team. Additionally, the experience of Sam Whitelock, who has won the World Cup twice, will be essential.

Expert Betting Tips

After starting the competition with two games that were rather low-key, the pressure that was being put on Ireland quickly increased. They came through a tough match against the defending champions, South Africa, and then blew Scotland away in the first half in Paris to further enhance the claim that they are ready to produce on the largest platform. This demonstrates that they have risen to the occasion and are ready to perform on the most important stage. Their defense has been excellent, but it will be put to the test against the All Blacks, who have scored 36 tries over the course of their last three victories. The obvious disclaimer is that the free-flowing rugby that New Zealand has shown thus far at the World Cup has been against teams that are light years behind the levels that Ireland have been generating, and this matchup will unavoidably be a significantly more physical and attritional battle at times. Ireland will once again have enormous support at the Stade de France, and those wearing green on the pitch can offer those in the stands something to cheer about as they take another significant step towards winning the Webb Ellis Cup.
