Rugby World Cup 2019: New Zealand v Ireland Tips & Preview
In a rematch of This epic Struggle in Dublin in 2018, New Zealand and Ireland in the World Cup quarter-final in Tokyo Match with.
Courses Irish scored a victory over the All Blacks in November of last season and Joe Schmidts facet could take some confidence out of their recent record from New Zealand with 2 wins in their last four encounters.
Having said that Ireland have been largely disappointing because that Dublin masterclass and have been outplayed by the brilliant Japanese in the group stage. While their crucial pool game was won by New Zealand and havent dropped a Rugby World Cup match since 2007.
Steve Hansen has an embarrassment of riches to pick from and contains remembered Brodie Retallick into the row, combined with Jack Goodhue and Anton Lienert-Brown from the midfield — that the omission of both Ryan Crotty is surprising.
With the exception of the frozen Bundee Aki, Joe Schmidt has a fully fit squad and has brought Gary Ringrose into midfield, whilst opting in full-back to the Rob Kearney.
Among the men this weekend will probably be Ireland defence trainer Andy Farrell, who has masterminded some schemes that have flummoxed the usually unflappable All Blacks over the last couple of years with the Irish & British Lions and Ireland.
Its Farrell, if there is 1 man in world rugby who will shut down New Zealand.
A man on the area will soon be Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray, that spouses Johnny Sexton from the half-backs. Murray has scored four global tries against New Zealand, and has been near to crossing the line from Scotland before in the tournament.
I leaned him at that Scotland match to score everywhere and I am backing his 2019 World Cup duck breaks tryscorer seems a good bet.
My wager of the particular game would be New Zealand to acquire with 1-12 points. After two weeks without a fixture that the All Blacks can be captured early with a conflict hardened Irish aspect.
With separating the sides, games in the past few years involving the 2 sides have been tight affairs. However, I expect New Zealand to have skill and sufficient nous to see a lively Irish work off.
