All Blacks coach Ian Foster has lauded an incredible defensive performance.

"Fantastic. We all knew it was going to be a monster game - we had been talking about it all week - and it was. It was a real arm wrestle," Foster said.

"They're a proud team, Ireland, they really hung in there. I thought we had them a couple of times but they kept making the game really tight.

"I am so proud of the way we played. Our defence, particularly in that last part, was brilliant."

Ireland have set the pace in world rugby for some time and they are understandably devastated after letting their big moment slip.

"I'm unbelievably proud of the group, everyone that's been involved over the last couple of years. That was one hell of a game and somebody had to lose - unfortunately it was us tonight," coach Andy Farrell said.

"Two good teams going at it, fine margins and all that. At the start of the game we coughed up penalties and gave them field position and six points."

"I was so proud of the way we came back and kept attacking them right until the death. We've had a good run but sport can be cruel sometimes - I guess that's why we love it. The way we kept battling shows the character of this side."

All Blacks No.8 Ardie Savea has been named man of the match.

"There was a lot riding on this week. It was one of those Test matches that was a battle. To go out there and play against a world class Irish squad, we gave the fans what they wanted. A big testament to this Irish team," Savea said.

"They have set the standard this whole year. I just want to send love to them. I am just so proud of my boys."

New Zealand withstood three comebacks from top ranked Ireland and two yellow cards to win a gripping Rugby World Cup quarter-final 28-24 and stay on course for a record fourth title.

The All Blacks come back to Stade de France to meet Argentina next week, after the Pumas rallied to beat Wales 29-17 in Marseille earlier.

Ireland goes home after falling short again with an eighth quarter-final defeat.

The Irish trailed 13-0 and 18-10 in the first half, and by 25-17 in the second half before a penalty try made it a one point contest with a little more than 15 minutes left.

Hooker Codie Taylor was sinbinned for collapsing the maul, leaving New Zealand a man down for the second time.

The tension rose again when Jordie Barrett missed a penalty, but he slotted his next penalty kick to give New Zealand a slender four point cushion with 10 minutes left.

New Zealand resisted a huge maul on the try line with a few minutes left and then incredibly withstood 37 Irish phases on the last all-for-nothing Irish attack for a monumental victory.

New Zealand 28 (Leicester Fainga'anuku, Ardie Savea, Will Jordan tries; Richie Mo'unga conversion, penalty, Jordie Barrett conversion, 2 penalties) Ireland 24 (Bundee Aki, Jamison Gibson-Park tries; penalty try; Jonathan Sexton 2 conversions, penalty). HT: 18-17

The All Blacks have done it.

Ireland's 17 game winning streak is over as New Zealand hold on for a 28-24 victory to advance to a Rugby World Cup semi-final against Argentina.

Neither team deserved to lose a game befitting of a final but the world No.1's are gone.

An incredible game of rugby.

Ireland's horror record of never winning a World Cup quarter-final continues.

They have now lost eight of them.

This is intense as New Zealand hold on to that 28-24 lead after 75 minutes in front of 78,845.

Jordie Barrett atones for an earlier miss by booting a penalty and New Zealand lead 28-24 after 69 minutes.

Ireland's rolling maul has produced a penalty try and we have a one point game!

New Zealand was unable to deal with the threat and Wayne Barnes has no hesitation.

The All Blacks lead 25-24 after 63 minutes and Codie Taylor is also in the sin bin to add to their concerns.

That's a real shame as Ireland's Aussie ace Mack Hansen hobbles off and is replaced by Jimmy O'Brien.

New Zealand 25-17 after 60 minutes.
