New Zealand vs Ireland betting preview
New Zealand have looked very good in their three matches to date
New Zealand are looking to make to extend their unbeaten run at World Cups that stretches all the way back to 2007. They were faultless in their pool matches, winning their crucial pool game against South Africa 23-13 in the opening round. That game against the Springboks showed that the Kiwis have the explosive power to put any side, and game, to bed in a matter of minutes. Then, the All Blacks racked up two wins – a 63-0 over Canada and 71-9 over Namibia – before their game with Italy was cancelled due to Typhoon Hagibis.Two-time World Rugby player of the year Beauden Barrett starts at fullback to accommodate Richie Mo’unga at ten, while Kiwi star Sonny Bill Williams will start on the bench and fellow centre Ryan Crotty misses out altogether. The All Blacks also have a fully fit Brodie Retallick back. Jack Goodhue and Anton Leinert-Brown get the nod in the centres
