Ireland vs All Blacks 1 November 2025

Ireland with all the momentum to start the half.

McCloskey at 12 for Ireland is so much more dynamic than DDA. Ireland's big achilles heel is flyhalf. Put a Sacha in there and they're gonna rock some shit.

Great steal Savea

Savea has to be the best loosie on the planet, what a jackal!

Neither side really getting their stuff together here. Always a mistake at the end of the line. Jordan lands that pass, big trouble, but he doesn't.

Jordan makes a rare mistake passing it behind Clark

Ireland got for 3 to double their lead...

long range...

Crowley misses

Crowley misses the penalty.

Something needs to happen. Game is feeling a bit boribg

Another terrible kick by Crowley.

Another penalty to Ireland, this one was already kickable, made even more so after some AB back chat costs them an extra 10m

Porter monstered, another promising buildup halted. This should be 3 points for Ireland. Looked like a legit counter ruck by NZ.

13-7 Ireland

Carter is no Kolbe. 5 Steps in half a second, end result no step at all.

ABs struggling to find any momentum

Stupid play for Barret there choosing to kick when the ABs were building so effectively

Aki on, McCloskey was good.

Game in the doldrums

Did you the cheers for Aki?

Lol DDA dreams of that kind of reception.

As a neutral I want the ABs to score next

Jeez, no one from any side can hold on to a crucial pass.

Did you the cheers for Aki?

Man, even just looking at the way McCloskey played I can't understand the hype around DDA.

Another TMO review. Big hit from Ringrose, legal. Surprisingly the officials agree. Miracles do happen.

Great jackal, Abs with the penalty and setting up an attacking lineout...

That hit on Bowdi...ouch

AB score. Tamatie Willemse. 14-13 NZ.

ABs score! They'll convert this!

14-13 ABs

That was a nice quick tap play

Game on!

If Jordan left that it was out on the full.

Barrett pulling down Lowe front on. Couldn't stop Esterhuizen.

Roigard with a cracking pass to Clarke.

Abs have a scrum on their own line...

They play it out but Low sweep excellently to clear the danger

Great try AB, lovely step and delay from Beauden opened it up. 21-13

That looked like the ABs of old.

13-21 Ireland need two scores now

LOL, Prendergast on for Ireland. Imagine being under the gun and that's who you have to take up the flyhalf position.

The Nzers are blow yards…’Sititi has exceptional pace’….but Doris closes him from behind. Hard to say which side I dislike more

Ireland with and attacking scrum right on the AB 22. They need something from this

Ag, and now Ireland knock it.

NZ scrum inside their own 22.

These scrums have been boring as hell.

The Bok scrum so much better than these girls

They didn't get anything from that.
