But a Portia Woodman long-range try to start the half, her 20th try at the World Cup, opened the floodgates as missed tackles began to cost the Irish. The All Blacks Sevens, also looking for a third straight title, will face Ireland in the semifinals at 10.35pm after a tight 12-5 quarter-final victory over Argentina. Down 5-0 early, a converted Scott Curry try gave the All Blacks Sevens the halftime lead just before the break.
