Three-time world champions New Zealand inflicted further heartbreak on Ireland on Saturday by beating them 28-24, bringing a disappointing end to the brilliant career of Ireland captain Johnny Sexton.

The defeat ended Ireland’s run of 17 successive Test victories and denied them the chance to appear in their first ever semi-final.
