<\/p>\nTOURNAMENT favourites Ireland have been in scintillating form at the 2023 Rugby World Cup so far – but they will be put to the test on Saturday against the might of New Zealand.<\/p>\n
The Shamrocks skipped into the quarter-finals as runaway leaders of Pool B – winning all four of their games, including a tight 13-8 victory over a strong South Africa side.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the All Blacks have historically been the team to beat in Rugby World Cups in years past – although their dominant streak has started to flag of late.<\/p>\n
Ian Foster's side came through a tough Pool A with their opening defeat to France being their only loss – and they finished in second in a pool that also included Uruguay and Italy, just three points behind Les Bleus. <\/p>\n
However, New Zealand soon put that loss to bed with 60+ point wins in each of their three other pool ties.<\/p>\n
Andy Farrell's side meanwhile received very little resistance from some of their pool opponents – trouncing Romania 82-8 in their opener before putting Tonga to the sword 59-16.<\/p>\n
