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.

Ireland 0-0 New Zealand

3 mins: Conway snaps into a tackle at halfway, before Aki forces the turnover with a good hit on Rieko Ioane. It’s ruled as a knock-on, however, and that sets up an All Blacks scrum on the halfway line.

Ireland 0-0 New Zealand

1 min: Ireland chase a kick before Bundee Aki does well to collect a high ball. Ireland keep possession and string some quick passes together in a couple of flowing moves. The attack eventually comes to an end as Ireland concede a penalty at the ruck, and New Zealand clear to touch, but that’s a confident start from the hosts.

Ireland vs New Zealand

Goosebumps at the Aviva as Ireland’s Call is followed by the Haka - there’s a smirk from Jack Conan which is greeted by cheers inside the stadium as it flashes up on the big screen.

And that’s followed by The Fields Of Athenry from the home fans! Kick-off is moments away.

Ireland vs New Zealand

It’s a sell-out crowd at the Aviva, the first for an Ireland rugby international since the pandemic, and what an occasion to welcome the fans back.

New Zealand were the winners of the recent Rugby Championship - but they did suffer defeat to world champions South Africa in September.

It’s time for the anthems as we approach kick off.

Ireland vs New Zealand

That’s all the reaction we’ve got time for from Scotland vs South Africa, as we head over to Dublin for the second huge match of the afternoon - it’s Ireland vs New Zealand!

There was a classic Ireland win against the All Blacks, their first on home soil, three years ago - but New Zealand had the upper hand in their last meeting in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup.

Full time: Scotland 15-30 South Africa

Scotland captain Stuart Hogg: “I’m gutted, because we went in at half time fully in control of the game. We defended with everything we had in the first half and we said at half time to come out and make the most of it - but we were second best at times.

“We let ourselves down and shot ourselves in the foot in the second half. We can take a bit of confidence, but unfortunately we didn’t stay in the moment and it has cost us.”
