Ireland were beaten 23-13 on the night and will have no complaints about the result.
Ireland will have to wait for another memorable All Blacks win after being outplayed by their rivals on Friday night.
Fast forward five minutes and the first warning was fired as Will Jordan and Mark Tele'a nearly combined for a slick try, only for some heroic last-ditch tackling. New Zealand chipped away with man of the match Damian McKenzie scoring consecutive penalties to take back the lead. New Zealand a lot more composed in attack even against Ireland's rush defence. Hugo Keenan fields the ball brilliantly against Ioane but fans int he stand think he was cleared out in the air.
Promising from Ireland as New Zealand hang on but Josh van der Fler gets over the line!! Try for Ireland!Signs of ring rust from Ireland, who have looked good in patches but have not been able to stitch it together enough to break through that All Blacks cover. However, Jordie Barrett's 40th minute yellow card gives Andy Farrell's men a chance to make their mark from the restart.
This is promising from New Zealand as they wear down the Irish defence and then it comes back for a penalty. McKenzie scores from close rangeThis is gutsy from Ireland. New Zealand have looked dominant on the ball but the hosts force another knock on. They are living off scraps and will want to make something out of this territory.
