2 really poor bits of defending from NZ have made this closer than it probably should be. Glad it's so close though, it's made for a great first half.

This match is absolutely ace.

I don't know what's more entertaining, the Rugby or my missus's reactions to it.  Either way it's great fun.

[Jon Crofts]

All Blacks should be out of sight but for some poor defending, Ireland on the up, second half should be epic.

[Scovilla]

Looking forward to it..Great game.

Why is that Irish fan wearing a cooking apron and waving a pineapple over his head?

[AV84]

And Sexton misses a sitter. Think this is done now.

This has been a superb watch but I am afraid chasing the game and missing that last pen is too much for the Irish to recover from.

Not looking good, we've been strangely impatient in our passing so far.

[Scovilla]

Not yet over...

COYBIG.

[AV84]

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

That try and yellow means Ireland have to be favourites.

[AV84]

New Zealand doing a great job of running down their yellow card

That was really poor from Beauden Barrett, no way he should be trying to keep it alive.

Saved by some exceptional defending from his brother.
