USA v Ireland Halftime
National Teams - USA Men

Ireland leads the USA 10-0 at halftime of the Rugby World Cup opener for both teams.

Playing before a packed crowd at Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth, NZ Sunday, the Eagles showed flashes of good rugby, but spent most of the first 40 minutes defending. This they did superbly, but finally gave up a try right at the end of the half.

Jonathan Sexton missed two penalty kicks, while the USA's James Paterson has missed one.

Ireland 10
Tries: Bowe
Convs: Sexton
Pens: Sexton

USA 0
