Ireland's performance was marred by a series of handling errors and poor discipline, allowing New Zealand to capitalize and secure a crucial victory in their transitional period.
Despite showing early promise, Ireland’s lack of cohesion and rhythm was evident as the game unfolded, ultimately unable to meet the expectations set by previous encounters.
The encounter was characterized by intense physicality, with both teams displaying their rugged capabilities, but it was the All Blacks' sharper execution that led them to triumph.
This loss marks a significant moment for Andy Farrell as he must now refocus his squad ahead of the impending challenge posed by Argentina.
