FULL TIME SCORE from Tokyo Stadium

New Zealand 46-14 Ireland

Congratulations to the All Blacks.

Not the performance or the result Ireland wanted today. They leave the Rugby World Cup in the quarter finals yet again.

The Ireland try was scored by Robbie Henshaw and Ireland were also awarded a penalty try.

Joey Carbery added the conversion to complete the scoring.

Rory Best now retires having been both an incredible player and captain.

Very best wishes to Ireland in tomorrow’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand.

The match kicks off at 11.15am Irish time at Tokyo Stadium, Tokyo. Live coverage will be on RTÉ 2, Eir Sport and ITV.

Since their first enounter in November 1905 at Lansdowne Road, Ireland had tried many times to beat the famed All Blacks.

It took 111 years to banish that hoodoo as Ireland ran out 40-29 victors over New Zealand at Soldier Field, Chicago on November 5, 2016.

New Zealand gained revenge for that defeat on Irish soil only 14 days later, beating Joe Schmidt's men 21-9 at the Aviva Stadium.

With the monkey of never having beat the All Blacks off their backs, Ireland beat New Zealand again and this time on Irish soil last November, winning 16-9 in a breathless encounter at the Aviva Stadium.

In all, Ireland and New Zealand have met 31 times, with Ireland winning twice, the All Blacks claiming 28 victories and one drawn game, that 10-10 stalemate at Lansdowne Road in November 1973.

The teams for tomorrow are as follows:

Ireland: R Kearney; K Earls, G Ringrose, R Henshaw, J Stockdale; J Sexton, C Murray; C Healy, R Best (capt), T Furlong; I Henderson, James Ryan; Peter O'Mahony, Josh van der Flier, CJ Stander. Reps: N Scannell, D Kilcoyne, A Porter, T Beirne, R Ruddock, Luke McGrath, J Carbery, J Larmour.

New Zealand: B Barrett; S Reece, J Goodhue, A Lienert-Brown, G Bridge; R Mo'unga, A Smith; J Moody, C Taylor, N Laulala; B Retallick, S Whitelock; A Savea, S Cane, K Read. Reps: D Coles, O Tuungaafsi, A Ta'avao, S Barrett, M Todd, TJ Perenara, SB Williams, J Barrett.

While Ireland have enjoyed a rocky road to Tokyo - the pre-tournament hammering from England and the Pool A defeat to Japan being particular low points - Joe Schmidt's men seem to be hitting form at the right time, although this theory will be tested to the full against the reigning World champions tomorrow.

Nigel Owens (Wales) will take charge of world champions New Zealand versus Ireland.

Some photos of Ireland’s last training session before tomorrow’s game and the Irish fans enjoying Japan.
