Ireland (13) 18 / All Blacks (19) 38 (Final Score)
Ireland hosted the All Blacks at Landsdowne Road, Dublin at 19:30 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.
The Irish came with a dogged and determined approach and initially traded penalties with the All Blacks, but the black machine changed a couple of gears late in the first half, scored a try and in the first part of the second half really punished the Irish.
Ireland was not done yet and threw everything at the All Blacks.
Final score was All Blacks 38 / 18, with Dan Carter only missing the last conversion when time was already up.
