Scotland vs South Africa LIVE: Rugby result, final score and reaction from 2021 Autumn international fixture

But no! Porter spills the lineout and that brings an enthralling first half to an end.

39 mins: But still, Ireland come forward. New Zealand concede the penalty as Sexton kicks for the corner.

With the clock now in the red, Ireland have one last chance.

38 mins: Outstanding defence from the All Blacks! Ireland work it well from the lineout as the on-running Aki bursts into space. Sexton goes left and Lowe has a chance, but he can’t wriggle away from four New Zealand defenders. Ireland go back inside through the forwards, with Van der Flier making a break, before Sexton is held up on the line! Somehow New Zealand stand firm. They make the turnover, only for Lowe to run it back, before Gibson Park spills it under pressure! New Zealand are then finally able to clear into touch.

36 mins: Sexton is again the target of a late hit and that earns Ireland a quick penalty. Sexton picks himself up before kicking for the corner, as Ireland look to hit back!

34 mins: The All Blacks add the conversion and the mood inside the Aviva is suddenly very different.

How about that for a swing! New Zealand clear to touch after winning a penalty at halfway, and from the lineout Dalton Papalii strikes. He makes a break in between Kelleher and Furlong before off-loading to Codie Taylor, who raced over the line.

NO TRY! It’s disallowed! Kelleher is adjudged to have made a second movement after he was tackled short of the try-line. New Zealand clear.

Brilliant from Ireland! Kelleher makes the initial charge in the rolling maul following the lineout. He’s stopped at the try-line, before Furlong picks it up and dives over!

29 mins: New Zealand are back up to their full contingent - but Ireland continue to push them back into their own half.

The hosts come again, with Lowe making another break up the inside. The move grinds to a half on the 5-metre line, but New Zealand throw the ball out of play as they tried to pass it out from the back.

There’s concern as Sexton receives some treatment after a high hit, but he looks as if he is going to continue.

27 mins: Lowe made the break up the inside as Ireland forced New Zealand back inside their 10-metre line, They got the ball back into the hands of their forward pack, but it again ends in an Ireland turnover as New Zealand win the penalty.
