Thank you for your company for today's summer tour opener between Ireland and the Maori All Blacks. These sides will meet again in Wellington in two weeks' time.
The Test series begins in Auckland this Saturday when Ireland battle it out with New Zealand at their Eden Park fortress.
Kick-off is at 7.05pm local time/8.05am Irish time. See you then!
The final whistle blows and Ireland have lost 32-17 to the Maori All Blacks.
Congratulations to Clayton McMillan's side, they did the business with a four-try first half performance.
Ireland, who were let down by a high penalty count, grabbed the only score of the second half through Gavin Coombes.
Captaining the tourists on the night, Bundee Aki charged through for Ireland's opening try.
Possession back with Ireland after Harmon is guilty of a push on Casey off the ball.
The resulting lineout sees the Maori infringe, but Frawley overcooks his touchfinder and the ball goes dead.
Jack Conan comes on for a last-minute scrum, replacing Coombes.
The Maori look for points off the scrum, it is scrappy possession and Love sends a drop goal effort wide.
Frawley kicks long, almost finding touch as Zarn Sullivan does really well to keep the ball in play.
Replacement Ruben Love hits the post with a penalty, but his strong tackle and then a counter-ruck earns another penalty for the Maori.
They take the scrum option in front of the Irish posts.
McCarthy steals the ball in close contact, but referee Barnes spots a knock-on and gives a scrum to the Maori All Blacks.
Garden-Bachop rans into some space, up the left wing. The Maori, with a penalty advantage, attack just outside the Irish 22.
They opt to go for the posts.
Promising stuff from Ireland in attack until Baird knocks on near the Maori 10-metre line.
Larmour was invited forward on the left, cutting back back into the hosts' territory.
Worryingly, Healy is down after getting his right leg trapped under a tackle. Finlay Bealham is preparing to come on.
Better from Ireland, Frawley's conversion from the left closing the gap to 32-17.
Coombes is held up, but we come back for a penalty. The Maori are on a warning.
Scannell taps the penalty, a quick recycle allows Coombes to burrow over with good support from Healy. Certainly a hard-earned try for Ireland!
The Maori are caught offside as Casey attempts to lift the tempo again.
Ireland have a lineout deep inside the Maori 22. Can they force their way over here?
Ireland earn a penalty at scrum time. Frawley's kick to touch takes them past the Maori 10-metre line.
A lineout platform handed to the Maori in the Irish 22. The ball was taken back in and Carbery's kick went straight into touch.
Knock-ons from both sides - Ioane fumbled a pass as the home side attacked out to the left. Scrum to Ireland.
The game is beginning to open up again, with Prendergast doing really well to keep an attack going with an offload back inside to Timoney.
Frawley puts boot to ball, but he cannot connect with Larmour on the right wing and the busy Connor Garden-Bachop covers the kick.
The tackler does not roll away quickly enough and Ireland give up another penalty.
Joey Carbery is on at full-back for O'Brien.
A couple of soft penalties allow the Maori back into Irish territory.
The hosts play through a penalty advantage, going wide to both wings with some slick handling before Perenara knocks on outside the Irish 22.
A good scrap at the breakdown, the Maori make a mess of it for Ireland and Casey knocks on. Scrum outside the Maori 22.
This third quarter has been stop-start with the men in green left to rue their failure to score from their early chances.
So close to a 50:22 kick from O'Brien, but the Maori kept the ball in play for the concession of a lineout outside their 22.
More changes for Ireland as Ryan Baird comes on for McCarthy and the newly-arrived Niall Scannell replaces Heffernan.
Ioane gathers a cross-field kick under pressure from Larmour.
However, possession quickly back with Ireland as Hume carries in midfield and then McCarthy.
Play is stopped for Hume to receive some treatment, and the Maori are looking to their bench, bringing on co-captain TJ Perenara.
Hume has to come off unfortunately. His Ulster colleague Michael Lowry replaces him.
Coombes is coming more into it now, bouncing off a couple of tackles.
Larmour does really well with an aerial take, launching one of Ireland's best attacks of the night.
It all ends with Timoney being stopped just short and then held up, the TMO review going against the Ulster back rower.
Heffernan does well to break from a maul and he is tackled a few metres out.
Coombes carries well before Prendergast is adjudged to have been held up. It is a goal-line drop out.
The Maori leak a couple of penalties for offside.
Ireland continue to opt for the tap penalty, Healy was held up and then, perhaps summing up the tourists' night, Heffernan knocked on when trying to take a tap.
Scrum to the Maori and they kick clear to touch.
Ireland get on the front foot, much needed.
An Aki charge-down and then a turnover leads to some pressure in the hosts' 22. Heffernan taps the penalty.
Five penalties conceded and eight turnovers coughed up.
Plenty for Ireland to work on as the second half begins. Healy is Ireland's only change, coming back on for Loughman.
Casey gets away with a kick that skewed off his boot, Stevenson knocked it into touch.
Time for Ireland to regroup and hopefully play their way back into this one.
Maybe the bench can spark an improvement as Farrell's side look to take some momentum into the first Test on Saturday.
Ioane converts and the Maori have a deserved 32-10 lead at half-time.
It has been error-strewn from Ireland, their discipline letting them down. The highlight was Aki's well-executed try, but they have struggled to build phases in attack.
Credit to the Maori, in wet conditions their attack has flourished.
Disappointing from Ireland again as O'Brien kicks to Sullivan, who links with Stevenson and the winger jinks past two players to launch another pacy counter attack.
Ireland are struggling to get back, a pass to Harmon goes to ground but he regathers it, gets inside Frawley and lays off for Grace to crash over despite Hume's last-ditch tackle.
The Maori are enjoying this! Four tries to one.
Not sure if a blast of the Nolans' 'I'm in the Mood for Dancing' from the PA will inspire Ireland to get back in touch.
O'Brien is well tackled after he gathered a kick through. Frawley then has a kick partially blocked, more possession for the Maori.
A big task for Ireland now, trailing 25-10 as the interval approaches.
Poor discipline has allowed the Maori to dictate and they have taken their chances in impressive fashion.
Ireland are giving up space around the fringes, and with more quick ball, the Maori are over for their third try.
Weber slips clean through from a close-in ruck, just a few metres out.
Ireland continue to be pinged by referee Barnes.
The Maori had lost possession in attack, Dave Heffernan doing well to grab it in the air. Casey kicked downfield before the tourists infringed.
Then, the men in green cough up a free-kick at a lineout.
A sniping run from Casey past halfway, but the Maori win the battle at the breakdown to create another chance on that right side.
Casey is back to cover a kick through, the ball goes loose and Weber knocks on. Scrum to Ireland just outside their own 22.
Ioane adds the extras from the right. The Maori lead 18-10, but time for Ireland to respond before half-time.
Sullivan beats his opposite number O'Brien to a high ball, kicking off a superb attack from the Maori.
Ioane darted through a gap and past halfway, Aki chasing him. He got his pass away and winger Stevenson stayed clear of Frawley to touch down.
They show how dangerous they can be off quick ball. A great try.
No clear release from Aki after a tackle, as Ireland hand Ioane a long range shot at the posts.
He drills the ball over to move the Maori into a single-point lead.
The game continues to ebb and flow, the Maori building their way back into scoring range.
Ireland are being caught offside in defence. Successive penalties against them, but Ioane misses the kick to the left.
Ireland with a 10-8 lead still.
Frawley's conversion edges Ireland back in front at 10-8.
A lovely first phase move off a lineout delivers Ireland's first try, and fittingly it is scored by captain Aki back in Chiefs country!
Timoney linked with Gavin Coombes off the lineout, and the number 8's nicely delayed pass sent Aki sliding in under the posts.
Larmour is fingertips away from scoring in the right corner from an O'Brien kick.
The ball bounced up for him, but a frustrating knock-on let the Maori off the hook.
Out-half Ioane is unable to convert from the right.
Ireland retrieve possession from the restart, a strong charge from Nick Timoney.
The Maori generate quick ball off the lineout, the forwards going close near the posts.
Harman is stopped short and then full-back Sullivan steps inside Prendergast's tackle to notch the game's opening try.
Sullivan wins the battle of the full-backs with a brilliant 50:22 kick after O'Brien had kicked downfield for Ireland.
Inviting lineout opportunity for the home team.
Loose play from both sides with the ball going loose in contact. Craig Casey sends up a contestable kick.
Ireland are back up to halfway, but Cian Prendergast infringes at the breakdown.
In encouraging news, Loughman has passed his HIA and returns to the pitch with Healy making way.
Ireland go to the front of the lineout but the Maori pinch it, a good spell for them.
Billy Harmon is released along the left touchline, however the pass to him from Cullen Grace was a forward one.
Scrum to Ireland outside their own 22.
Good covering by O'Brien after the Maori had created some space on the left.
Shaun Stevenson launched a kick through which the Ireland full-back retrieved and cleared to touch.
The hosts soon stab another kick through, setting up an Irish lineout in their own 22.
Strong response from the Maori, who counter impressively after O'Brien failed to find touch.
Ireland leak penalties in and around their 22 and Josh Ioane manages to level from the tee. 3-3.
A tough first strike for Frawley, but he nails the kick from 44 metres out.
Ireland lead 3-0.
Bit of early niggle. Strong tackle on Aki forces a knock on, scrum to Ireland.
Zarn Sullivan throws the ball at Frawley and there are some handbags. We resume with the scrum on the Maori 10-metre line.
Ireland win a penalty at the set piece. Frawley will go for goal.
A fine early aerial take by Jimmy O'Brien, James Hume finds some space out on the left as he goes through a gap.
Jordan Larmour falls on the slippery surface.
Cruel luck for prop Jeremy Loughman who has to come off for a HIA. Cian Healy is on for an immediate scrum.
