Damian McKenzie scores six penalties as New Zealand inflict Ireland's first home defeat since 2021 with victory at Aviva Stadium.
Ireland suffered a first home defeat in more than three years as they were beaten by New Zealand in an Autumn Nations Series match that failed to add a latest exciting chapter to one of rugby's greatest rivalries.
Six penalties from New Zealand fly-half Damian McKenzie lifted the All Blacks to their first win on Irish soil since 2016. McKenzie kicked three penalties to give New Zealand a 9-6 half-time lead, although they lost Jordie Barrett to a yellow card for a high tackle on Garry Ringrose. With a numerical advantage, Ireland started the second half in style with Josh van der Flier scoring a much-needed try for the hosts.
But Ireland's discipline cost them as McKenzie nailed three more penalties before Will Jordan's try - his 37th in 39 Tests - killed the home side's hopes of exacting revenge for last year's World Cup quarter-final loss.Keenan; Hansen, Ringrose, Aki, Lowe; Crowley, Gibson-Park; Porter, Kelleher, Bealham; McCarthy, Ryan; Beirne, Van der Flier, Doris .Jordan; Tele'a, Ioane, J Barrett, Clarke; McKenzie, Ratima; Williams, Aumua, Lomax, S Barrett , Vaa'i, Sititi, Cane, Savea.
