New Zealand was thought to have showed too much razzle-dazzle and met not enough resistance to seriously trouble top-ranked Ireland going into their Rugby World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday. The All Blacks racked up a ridiculous 36 tries and 240 points in swatting aside Italy, Uruguay and Namibia to finish the pool stage. Often overlooked for their defensive prowess, the All Blacks reminded the other title contenders with a masterclass to upset the Irish 28-24 and knock them out in a second straight quarterfinal.
