Leeds will play host to New Zealand’s clash against Ireland on Friday night BST. Ireland will need to put in a miracle effort to keep their tournament alive, while Maguire’s Kiwi side will be confident of locking in their spot at the top of group C – and a likely quarter-final rematch against Fiji.

New Zealand were a touch disappointing in their opening game win as the Kiwis worked hard to defeat Lebanon 34-12.

They were frustrated for periods of that game and will need to be much better with the ball in hand throughout the tournament.

New Zealand were far more impressive – albeit against weaker opposition – when dispatching Jamaica 68-6 last weekend and Michael Maguire’s are moving in the right direction as the tournament enters the key phase.
