Ireland (6) 13

Tries: Van der Flier Con: Crowley Pens: Crowley 2

New Zealand (9) 23

Try: Jordan Pens: McKenzie 6

Ireland suffered a first home defeat in more than three years as they were beaten by New Zealand in an Autumn Nations Series match that failed to add a latest exciting chapter to one of rugby’s greatest rivalries.

Six penalties from New Zealand fly-half Damian McKenzie lifted the All Blacks to their first win on Irish soil since 2016.

McKenzie kicked three penalties to give New Zealand a 9-6 half-time lead, although they lost Jordie Barrett to a yellow card for a high tackle on Garry Ringrose.

With a numerical advantage, Ireland started the second half in style with Josh van der Flier scoring a much-needed try for the hosts.

But Ireland’s discipline cost them as McKenzie nailed three more penalties before Will Jordan’s try – his 37th in 39 Tests – killed the home side’s hopes of exacting revenge for last year’s World Cup quarter-final loss.
