Remember, Tuivasa-Sheck is 29 which means next year in France might be his one and only shot at a global tournament, so if the All Blacks really believe he could be an asset in France the centre needs plenty of game time. One key difference from the last week to this is that the legendary second-row has recovered from a head injury to take his place in the XV. Whitelock was key to their first Test triumph, consistently disrupting Ireland’s lineout ball and denying them try-scoring opportunities in good areas. The All Blacks had one player sent off and probably should have had another, so it will be interesting to see whether they adapt.

It’s claimed in the lineout, the drive is set up and walks over the line for Van Der Flier to flop over and open the scoring. New Zealand fitful and a little disjointed, but with enough dog in their scramble defence and pizazz in broken play or on counter to frustrate and indeed take the game. Ireland busy and creative, making enough dents up front and with territorial kicking to make the All Blacks reel a bit. Sexton spurns a kickable penalty to put the ball in the corner. Bundee Aki and Andrew Porter are both untidy at the ruck and are ruled to be off feet. Finally, the ball is out and NZ are taking narrow carries up via the forwards sticking close to the ruck. Ireland are deliberately not committing too many player to the breakdown, and they stand so far off one the All Blacks end up knocking on due to their own momentum not being stopped. This allows Keenan to put a testing kick on Jordan who takes it but is stopped dead by the chasing Hansen and on the next possession Tu’ungafasi knocks on. Possession is not very secure however and as NZ get it back David Havili punts a 50:22 and the All Blacks will have an go in the Irish 22. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later? The New Zealand response to this is to start chucking it everywhere and losing whatever limited shape they have. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later?

Aki was superb after coming off the bench and he'll be looking to replicate that performance. New Zealand coach Ian Foster has made four changes from last Saturday, with the forwards Nepo Laulala and Sam Whitelock coming back into the fold, who should be a big boost with their vast experience. says Andy Farrell, and it's hard not to agree with him after the win in Dunedin. This is going to be some spectacle. A poor miss and one which perhaps indicates All Black nerves. A narrow escape for Ireland. Lowe is unfortunate that his huge boot isn't deemed a 50-22 but it doesn't matter, off the next maul Ireland get the turnover and are back in possession for the scrum. It doesn't matter though as Johnny Sexton gives up a penalty for not rolling away at the breakdown. New Zealand look rattled and again their discipline, or lack of it, is letting them down. Ireland get the scrum and kick it out to end the half. Well, well, well, New Zealand can't even get the lineout straight. An incredible half of rugby from Ireland. Every player in green has stood up and out performed their opposite number.
