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.

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.

Luke Jacobson's yellow card will remain a yellow card. Very surprised at that.

Looks like a possible red card for Luke Jacobson.

Jacobson is shown yellow and it's sent for off-field review.

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.

Ireland on the ropes early on. Trying to cling on against the ABs speed and power. Frawley, just on for O'Brien, down injured now. Aki on. Ringrose to the wing.
