Follow live updates from the Rugby World Cup as Ireland and reigning champions New Zealand go head to head in Saturday’s second quarter-final.

Steve Hansen’s All Blacks are undefeated in 17 World Cup matches and edged South Africa in their opening group game before demolitions of Canada and Namibia. Their final group game was cancelled due to the threat of Typhoon Hagibis.

The Irish began their own campaign with a resounding win against Scotland, but fell spectacularly unstuck against hosts Japan. However, they since bounced back with second-gear victories against Russia and Samoa. Follow our rolling coverage below:
