Ireland vs Australia LIVE: Rugby result and reaction from autumn international as Ireland edge to tight win

This is probably the toughest test of Jack van Poortvliet’s young career, and the scrum-half is struggling a little. Scott Barrett has plenty of time to ready his charge down with the Leicester nine not assembling any blocking bodies, and Barrett smothers his kick.

New Zealand earn a penalty and return to the England half, from where they launch a maul.

And that’s a bit of a let off for England - New Zealand fail to throw the lineout and are free kicked.

Owen Farrell kicks the free kick out up near halfway. Codie Taylor needs a new set of arrows - his latest dart drifts off line.

England’s scrum is solid, though the option to go blind rather less so. Jonny May is isolated and momentum is lost - and to make matters worse for the home side, May was up too soon to take Jack van Poortvliet’s pass. Offside penalty for New Zealand.

Ethan de Groot asks Mathieu Raynal to look more closely at Kyle Sinckler’s bind as he prepares for the next scrummaging engagement. Down it goes, and Raynal swaps sides before the reset to have a slightly more detailed look.

The All Blacks are looking pretty menacing every time they spot a sliver of open space. Their latest cross-kick lands in the hands of Rieko Ioane, who offloads to Jordie Barrett.

Barrett in turn finds Mark Telea, and Aaron Smith is there in support, too. Ioane is quickly up with him, but can’t gather a blind pop inside cleanly, Owen Farrell’s firm challenge to the centre’s ribs ensuring that the ball hits the deck. England scrum feed.

Mathieu Raynal has advice for both front rows as the scrum goes down. It works, the second attempt much more stable, allowing Billy Vunipola space to stomp up the blindside.

But the lineout throw that comes as a result of it is off-line, drifting to the England side. It is clawed back acrobatically by Sam Whitelock, but England will have the scrum. You’d question the benefit the All Blacks enjoyed from the askew nature of the throw, but it definitely wasn’t straight.

New Zealand’s stumpier forwards capitalise on the work of their tall trees by winning a scrum penalty.

There’s that maul defence! Tom Curry is engulfed by Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick, more than 240 caps and plenty of sinewy muscle wrapping up the ball-carrier and winning turnover ball.

Disappointed oohs from the crowd as Owen Farrell fails to find touch with a penalty after Jonny May had been taken high in the tackle.

Farrell gets another go almost immediately afterwards, this time on the right after Rieko Ioane hared off too soon in pursuit of a New Zealand kick. Offside; England return to the All Blacks 22.
