Ireland v New Zealand
He said: “Ireland are playing on a different level to every other team at this World Cup and the only side close to them is France.
“I can’t see New Zealand beating Ireland if Andy Farrell’s side reproduce the sort of performance they delivered against Scotland. What a job Farrell has done. He is clearly a wonderful coach but has also put a great team around him in Paul O’Connell, Simon Easterby and Mike Catt.”
Prediction: Ireland win
Result: New Zealand win
