It was a tough night at the office for Ireland as New Zealand extended their outstanding unbeaten Eden Park record with a convincing 42-19 victory.
Ireland started brightly and took the lead through an excellent Keith Earls try, but the home side hit back hard to lead 28-5 at half-time.
Despite Andy Farrell’s men scoring again at the start and end of the second half through Garry Ringrose and Bundee Aki, it was not enough as the All Blacks prevailed.
