Ireland 13-23 New Zealand: All Blacks overpower hosts to claim back-to-back wins in Autumn Nations Series

New Zealand enjoyed back-to-back wins in the Autumn Nations series with a 23-13 victory over Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night.

Damian McKenzie kicked 18 points as the All Blacks condemned their opponents to a first defeat in 20 home matches.

McKenzie and Jack Crowley exchanged kicks during a cagey first half, at the end of which Ireland were handed a numerical advantage when Jordie Barrett was sin-binned for a high tackle on Garry Ringrose.

Andy Farrell’s side capitalised early in the second half as Josh van der Flier touched down within four minutes of the restart.

However, back to full-strength, New Zealand soon regained their advantage, with McKenzie kicking them into an 18-13 lead.

The All Blacks then increased their advantage to 10 points and subsequently put the game beyond Ireland 10 minutes from time, neatly working the ball from side to side before an unmarked Will Jordan crossed.
