Ireland dominated from start to finish to topple New Zealand 29-20 at an electric Aviva Stadium on Saturday and make it three wins from the sides’ last five meetings with another superb performance against the All Blacks.

Ireland completely controlled the first half but somehow trailed 10-5 at the break when only James Lowe could breach the superb New Zealand defence.

Codie Taylor’s try on the other hand came from one of only two visiting forays into the Irish half.

The onslaught continued in the second period and the All Blacks dam was broken, first through hooker Ronan Kelleher and then man-of-the-match Caelan Doris. A conversion and a penalty from captain Johnny Sexton put the hosts 20-10 in front.

Will Jordan’s 17th try from 11 caps set up a tense final 20 minutes but Ireland stood firm with replacement flyhalf Joey Carbery knocking over three late penalties, one from the halfway line, before the packed house erupted on the final whistle.

TRY! Scotland 8-8 South Africa (HOGG 35’)

What a crazy phrase of play! Scotland were able to keep the ball as South Africa threatened to overwhelm them in the scrum, and in the frantic phase that followed - Russell attempts two crossfield kicks to Van der Merwe, who keeps the ball in play with a pass behind his back! On the second kick, Van der Merwe breaks a tackle before finding Hogg on his inside. Scotland then break clear down the left - it’s all a little messy, and there’s a suspicion of a forward pass, but it ends in Hogg bursting over the line before touching down under the posts!

Scotland 3-8 South Africa

32 mins: Good pressure from Scotland sees Le Roux get sacked by Scott as he picked up the ball from a ruck. The Springboks full-back lost the ball as Schoeman regained possession for the Scots, but the move broke down following a loose pass - so it comes back for a Scotland scrum inside the South Africa half.
