All Blacks derail Ireland at Eden Park, widening the gap to rugby’s elite
TL;DR Summary
New Zealand beat Ireland 40-21 at Eden Park, extending the All Blacks’ unbeaten run there to 53 and underscoring Ireland’s ongoing gap to the world’s top sides. Ireland have now lost six straight Tests against New Zealand, France and South Africa by double digits, with a costly first half and a drop in accuracy hampering their fightback. Despite a challenging season marked by injuries, departures and eight international debuts, Ireland still logged a Triple Crown and a few wins, and coach Andy Farrell stressed lessons ahead of next year’s World Cup.
