New Zealand 48 - 10 Ireland Ireland were thrashed 48-10 to leave them facing a group-stage exit from the World Cup. Hell of a battle @NZRL_Kiwis 🤝 #IrelandRL • #RLWC2021 pic.twitter.com/Oi7BWZC9Dj — Rugby League Ireland (@Irelandrl) October 29, 2022 Ireland went ahead through Ed Chamberlain's penalty but are now relying on an unlikely favour from Jamaica against Lebanon on Sunday. New Zealand scored a total of 10 tries, with Jahrome Hughes, Jordan Rapana and Peta Hiku all going over twice. Louis Senior grabbed two opportunistic tries for Ireland, but they fell to defeat against a classy Kiwis side. Ronaldo Mulitalo, James Fisher-Harris, Kenny Bromwich and Joseph Manu were also on the scoresheet for New Zealand, who missed six conversions. Ireland's campaign started brightly with an expected victory over tournament debutants Jamaica, but an error-ridden and ill-disciplined defeat against Lebanon looks to have proved extremely costly.
