Ireland v New Zealand LIVE rugby: Latest score and updates as All Blacks nudge back in front

Number five from the right boot of the smiling assassin McKenzie.

Penalty to New Zealand! Ireland are driving forward but Finlay Bealham’s angle is deemed illegal by one of Nic Berry’s assistants, his legs spinning out as he bears in on Asafo Aumua. Damian McKenzie will kick for goal.

Oh dear. This is a worry for Ireland, already without Tadhg Furlong at tighthead - Tom O’Toole is unsteady on his feet after a clash of heads and that’ll be that for his evening. Finlay Bealham comes back on and though Andrew Porter and, in theory, Cian Healy can swap sides, you’d suspect he will have to go the distance.

New Zealand respond by making a double switch at prop: Ofa Tu’ungafasi and Pasilio Tosi were uber impressive last week and are on to deal more damage.

A first touch for Frawley as he loops out the back of the frontline runners in phase play, carrying up with passing options cut off. Ireland then try something funky, Jamison Gibson-Park with a chipped box kick for a lurking Mack Hansen to chase, but Will Jordan is superbly positioned and outstanding in the air, as he has been all night.

Off the post! No dice for D-Mac, his kick starting outside the right of the posts and curling back but not quite far enough.

Jamison Gibson-Park then makes a massive hit on the touchline, drawing a scrum. Here come the Ireland switches: Jack Crowley is off with Ciaran Frawley, hero in South Africa, on at fly half; Finlay Bealham is replaced by Tom O’Toole; and Iain Henderson steps in for Joe McCarthy, who had been carrying that knock from earlier in the half.

Ireland were warned for their failure to vacate the ruck space in the first half, and are again picked up for it here, the ball slow for Cam Roigard and his imploring of referee Nic Berry for a decision eventually (and rightly) rewarded.

The hosts are readying some changes as Damian McKenzie calls on the tee.

Ireland have defended superbly since the interval, and force the All Blacks ten metres back across six phases with a combination of rapid line speed and strong tackling. To the air New Zealand go, with Hugo Keenan somehow getting to a shallow high hoist having sprinted from deep. Caleb Clarke looked favourite right up until the moment Keenan snared it.

Not for the first time tonight, an unforced error from Ireland in phase play, Jack Crowley reaching with his fingertips blindly as he picks his next pass and unable to wrap his claws around it. Knock on, scrum New Zealand near halfway.

Jordie Barrett will soon be back amongst things, and he’s got a Hurricanes chum for company as he waits for re-entry. Here the pair come, Barrett returning from the sin bin and Cam Roigard replacing Cortez Ratima, who hasn’t had the easiest night at all.

Joe McCarthy receives a bit of treatement but will solider on for now.

Impressive kicking from Damian McKenzie, shooting his trademark grin at the uprights even after the ball falls off the tee. He composes himself and slots it from 50 metres on the angle to narrow the gap to a single point.
