Ruthless All Blacks prove too strong for Ireland at Eden Park

Tries: Tuipulotu (15), Savea (22), Jordan (35), Aumua (39), McKenzie (56), Lienert-Brown (79) Conversions: Love (15,23,36,40,57) Tries: Conan (33), McCarthy (45), Keenan (63) Conversions: Prendergast (34,45,64) New Zealand vs Ireland Nations Championship 8:10am Saturday 18th July A ruthless All Blacks display ensured they will end their home block of rugby's inaugural Nations Championship with three wins from three, after emphatically beating Ireland 40-21 at Eden Park. With Ireland shorn of 12 players through injury, their performance left a lot to be desired, with their attack particularly poor and lacking in zip or threat. Defensively Andy Farrell's side also conceded six tries, with lock Patrick Tuipulotu, No 8 Ardie Savea, wing Will Jordan, hooker Asafo Aumua, full-back Damian McKenzie and replacement Anton Lienert-Brown all crossing for New Zealand, who were fortunate not to lose flanker Luke Jacobson to a first-half red card for a dangerous clearout. Ireland scored three tries through No 8 Jack Conan, lock Joe McCarthy and full-back Hugo Keenan, narrowing to 14-7 late in the first half, and within 14 points twice in the second, but they couldn't grab a fourth score to at least leave with a bonus-point. New Zealand - Tries: Tuipulotu (15), Savea (22), Jordan (35), Aumua (39), McKenzie (56), Lienert-Brown (79). Cons: Love (15,23,36,40,57). Ireland - Tries: Conan (33), McCarthy (45), Keenan (63). Cons: Prendergast (34,45,64). Instead, Ireland's errors - plentiful in the contest - were preyed upon and exposed in a disappointing finish to the visitors' season.
