REACTION: Ireland secure quarter-final place with 42-point win over Samoa

Ireland have secured their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup after a 42-point win over Samoa. 

Joe Schmidt's side's bonus-point win was enough to guarantee progression to the next round but they must wait for the Scotland-Japan match to be resolved before knowing their quarter-final opposition.

If the hosts match against Scotland is cancelled due to storm Hagibis then Ireland will face New Zealand, however, a Scotland win could mean Ireland play Rassie Erasmus' South Africa in the next round.

Bundee Aki's red card for a high tackle was Ireland's first-ever red card at a World Cup but much of the match reaction has been about a much-improved Ireland side.
