Match Commentary

82'And now we move on to USA vs Japan.
81'Martyn Thomas' verdict from Cardiff: "Amid a raucous atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium, Ireland secured the win they craved so much, and they richly deserved it. It came at a cost, with head coach Joe Schmidt potentially without four frontline players for the quarterfinal against Argentina as Paul O'Connell, Jonathan Sexton and Peter O'Mahony limped off and man of the match Sean O'Brien appeared to be guilty of punching Pascal Pape. But Ireland's fans should be allowed to bask in a wonderful win for now. Schmidt's side ultimately won the arm wrestle which enabled them to play the rugby that earned two tries. For France they flickered too briefly and will face New Zealand in Cardiff. But we know how that goes, right…"
