IRELAND have been knocked out of the Rugby World Cup by New Zealand in a simply stunning test match.
The Irish had never reached a semi-final and the All Blacks made sure that is still the case with a brilliant performance.
But Ireland will rue missing their own chances after New Zealand went down to 14 men for 10 minutes, but a rolling maul was held up by New Zealand at the crucial moment.
They then hung on for the win and a place against Argentina, who beat Wales earlier today, in the semi-finals, leaving Johnny Sexton in tears during probably his last rugby match.
