New Zealand is moving fast, England awaits. They erased the All Blacks to Ireland in half an hour. They avenged the defeat of a year ago and remembered that, until they are dethroned, they command the oval establishment. They will face England in the semifinals, an oiled machinery to redeem themselves from the previous World Cup. Japan has arrived tuned and punctual, and has secured, at least, the fourth place.

From the match between New Zealand and Ireland, a high-altitude duel and a high-altitude duel were expected. Both for his safety on the touches and for the usual recourse to the kicks hung to press the reception by the opposite rear. The first and decisive battle focused, however, on hoarding the walls at ground level. The All Blacks linked phases and continuity across the width to create a gap that Aaron Smith found. The rehearsal, along with a previous blow, gave them an early lead (10-0). And a runaway opening from midfield concluded with another trial of the midfielder.

Few teams can trace a 17-0 against New Zealand. It is also impossible to do it without balls; in the open ones they were flocked before by black players. Conquered the oval, they launched themselves to enjoy the open field. The All Blacks paid aggressiveness with some punishments. It came to mind; Irish media, Murray and Sexton , were embroiled. The third rehearsal (22-0) appeared in a counterattack by Beuden Barrett , lined up to leave the opening position for Mounga . End point with 50 minutes ahead. Ireland tried to score a touche and maul mark in the first half epilogue. Not even on his favorite play did he find the way.

The New Zealand exhibition leaves another striking detail. It occurred in a period in which territorial dominion and possession alternated with Ireland. His speed of execution dismantled that false balance. The second half enshrined inequality with four other All Blacks trials, always attentive to support, for the two who rewarded the final green arreón.

England deactivates Australia

The first quarterfinal started with a dominant and vertical Australia. In minutes he camped with the ball in England's 22nd, forced to defend. Two melés settled with a blow for each team showed from the start the importance of the underground war. The first punishment favorable to the 'Wallabies' (0-3) was quickly answered with an essay by the Englishman May transformed by Farrell (7-3).

Faced with the Australian hand offensives, led by the Petaia center and the Beeale defender, the English team behaved like the predator that Eddie Jones has assembled. Hold on, watch the clue and take the dam. Thus came the second English essay (14-3), also from May, the result of a stolen ball turned into a counterattack. The Australians tried to lean on every rag. But the English, calculators, never attack in vain. They held the third opponent, balanced possession and took command on the scoreboard (17-9 at half-time).

The oceans needed to unzip the game. They did it for a minute. A ball open to the hand generated the desired numerical superiority and the trial of the Koroibete wing (17-16). More blunt, for the immediate hit and its protagonist, was the career of the English pilier Sinclair . He closed an attack of his team with an unstoppable start in the opposite 22 that again widened the rent (24-16).

With eleven points of disadvantage (27-16), 'the Wallabies' requested to dispute a melee in a blow close to the rehearsal and in front of sticks; His challenge was thrown. They erred in execution. The fence ended in a lost ball, another one, and so much useless wear reinforced England. He no longer had to sufficiently enlarge the victory (40-16).

The Australian team says goodbye to the World Cup. Always dangerous, he has not been able to beat any first level opponent. Harder, due to previous aspirations, is the end of Ireland, which again embarks in quarters. His career was twisted with defeat against Japan. That result led to the crossing in front of the All Blacks and they have condemned the greens to a hard goodbye. With seven trials against.
