The 2019 Rugby World Cup would see New Zealand face off against South Africa in a rematch. They won, 23 - 13 in Yokohama, then notched wins up on Canada and Namibia, scoring a total of 135 points i the 2 games. They would face off against Ireland, dominating from start to finish and prevailing 46 - 14. This would not last long, a 7 - 19 loss to England saw their chances of a 3-peat title over. They would finish their campaign with a 40 - 17 win over Wales to claim the bronze-medal. Hansen retired after the World Cup, and many All-Blacks veterans would retire (most notably Kieran Read, Owen Franks and Ben Smith). Ian Foster would be appointed as the new All Blacks coach.
