  1. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    AND NEW ZEALAND WIN THE PENALTY!

  2. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Ireland are now about 10 metres out but they can't get through. New Zealand's defence is ferocious.

  3. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Ireland are pushing and pushing and pushing! It's like walking rugby!

    82 minutes played!

  4. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Both teams looked wrecked here. Absolutely spent. We're into the red and Ireland still have it.

  5. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Ireland are now just outside the 22 but Ireland can't crack through. We're into 20 phases!

  6. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Ireland just can't make any ground here. New Zealand are so disciplined.

    One to go.

  7. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    This is try or bust territory now.

    One mistake and that could be it.

    Two to go.

  8. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Ireland are at the wrong end of the pitch but are throwing everything at New Zealand!

  9. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Three to go.

  10. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    New Zealand are playing up the jumper stuff here. Slowing everything right down.

  11. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Andrew Porter is off with five to go as Dave Kilcoyne takes his place.

    Barrett tries an ambitious drop goal but it's mis-hit and Ireland can clear.

  12. Five to go

    Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    As a half Kiwi, I feel an obligation to support the All Blacks, but it would be heart-breaking to see another Irish team fail at the quarter-finals.

  14. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    New Zealand are restored to their full compliment, without conceding a point.

    Massive.

  15. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Aaron Smith is running about with his arms wide. He's appealing for everything in a bid to get a penalty.

    Surprised he has time to pass the ball he's spread them that much.

  16. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    New Zealand have the scrum just inside their own half. There's no penalty but New Zealand come again!

  17. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    And now Caelan Doris spills a simple catch from a kick-out.

    Fine, fine margins.

  18. Close!

    Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    Held up!

    The maul was motoring towards the line but Jordie Barrett gets under Ronan Kelleher.

    That's huge defence.

  19. 'A huge 10 minutes ahead'

    Former Ireland flanker on BBC Radio Ulster

    A huge 10 minutes ahead here, I don't understand how we aren't getting anything out of the scrum, we really need to tighten that up when we get the chance.

  20. Ireland 24-28 New Zealand

    We're into the final 10 minutes.

    Ireland win the penalty!

    Murray kicked into the corner, New Zealand made a mess of it and Bundee Aki (of course) wins the penalty!
