Farrell rues "uncharacteristic" Irish mistakes but skirts yellow card call: the42.ie/7106420
Andy Farrell asked about the Luke Jacobson incident.
"There were all sorts of incidents in the game you could talk about.
"I'll pass on that one."
Ireland boss Andy Farrell says "the flow of our game never got going" and highlights "uncharacteristic poor passing."
But he praises his team's character for not going away.
"New Zealand won pretty comfortably in the end," says Farrell.
Error-strewn Ireland come up well short as All Blacks extend their Eden Park record: the42.ie/7106240
What a line kick from Prendergast again.
And clinical attack as the forwards earn pen adv and Prendergast hits Keenan. Nice score.
Jordie Barrett turning on the class in the last couple of minutes.
Cracking aerial win and then the 50:22.
Great start to the second half for Ireland.
Got momentum from the scrum with McCloskey, McCarthy, and JGP prominent.
Then took their chance once they got within five metres.
Gibson-Park sharper in that sequence after a tough first half.
An awful first half for Ireland.
Haven't been able to cope with the All Blacks' athleticism and skill.
Number of handling/passing errors just way, way too high. Have to be near perfect in that regard against Kiwis.
Bizarre one there.
Another Irish error gives the ABs the handiest seven points they will ever score.
Cracking line kick by Prendergast on the pen.
Then vicious carrying from McCloskey, Conan, Beirne, and Conan again.
Much better.
Another penalty for the ABs as they exit.
Combined with two errors in 22, means Ireland are really struggling to create any pressure.
That second score was coming.
All Blacks are looking seriously threatening with every possession. Incredibly quick ball.
Couple of handling errors and pens from Ireland have not helped.
