It was a tough night for Ireland as the All Blacks continued their unbeaten Eden Park run in dominant fashion with a 42-19 victory in the first test.
Ireland started brightly and took the lead through an excellent Keith Earls try but the home side hit back hard to lead 28-5 at half time.
Ireland scored again at the start and end of the second half through Garry Ringrose and Bundee Aki and were held up over the line a number of times but it wasn’t enough to keep the All Blacks out.
