Ireland Rugby team huddle after losing against the All Blacks in New Zealand

Ireland’s wait for a win against New Zealand on New Zealand soil goes on after the All Blacks cruised to a 42-19 win in the opening match of the three-match series in Auckland on Saturday.

Number eight Ardie Savea scored either side of half-time to help New Zealand avenge a 29-20 loss in Dublin last November and extend their unbeaten run at Eden Park to 47 tests over 28 years.

Ireland dominated the early exchanges and grabbed a try through winger Keith Earls, repeating the feat through centre Garry Ringrose soon after the break and scoring a late consolation through Auckland-born Bundee Aki.

Full-back Jordie Barrett scored a try and converted all six for the All Blacks, while winger Sevu Reece, centre Quinn Tupaea and debutant loose forward Pita Gus Sowakula also crossed to help put the hosts 1-0 up.
