    Johnny Sexton (59 mins)

    It's a tricky enough kick.....and he pushes it wide.

    That could be huge!

    Jack Conan and Joe McCarthy are on for Andy Farrell's side.

    Iain Henderson and Josh van der Flier make way.

  2. 'Huge moment for O'Brien'published at 21:21 British Summer Time 14 October 2023

    A huge moment for Jimmy O'Brien to come in, probably the biggest game of his career. He has won trophies with Leinster so he is coming into the game full of confidence and he will want to get stuck in.

    Penalty for Ireland! New Zealand were infringing at the ruck.

    Posts or corner for Johnny Sexton? He points to the posts!

    Ireland now have the ball in the New Zealand half again, but it's the wrong end of the half and the All Blacks are holding firm.

    Wow! That is the artistry of Richie Mo'unga and he had Will Jordan with him. Very few players in the world can run Will Jordan down with that sort of opportunity. Wonderful play.

    And Hansen's night is over. That's a big blow for Ireland.

    O'Brien is straight into action as Ireland lose possession in the All Blacks half.

  7. Hansen needs helppublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 14 October 2023

    Ireland 17-25 New Zealand

    Mack Hansen is down receiving treatment and his night could be over here. He went to chase after Beaden Barrett but that calf injury looks to have flared up again.

    Jimmy O'Brien would be the natural fit if called upon.

    Ireland will be really disappointed not to do well with that first defensive set.

    Will Jordan knows how to find that try line and these Barrett brothers are really special, both have had a serious influence in the game and that was a huge kick and a massive two points for the All Blacks.

    Ireland 17-25 New Zealand

    This Ireland team never seem to panic and with 25 minutes to play, there's no reason to now.

    But they'll need something big, and something soon.

    Now, what do Ireland have in response?

    Converted try - Ireland 17-25 New Zealandpublished at 21:13 British Summer Time 14 October 2023

    Will Jordan (J Barrett con)

    From one end to another! What a try!

    Richie Mo’unga spots a gap and makes up so much ground. He beats James Lowe, who flies into the tackle, and pops it off to Will Jordan, who has enough gas to hold off Hugo Keenan.

    That feels like a big, big score.

    Jordie Barrett lands a monster conversion!

    But Ireland are isolated again! New Zealand win the penalty and can clear once again.

    When Ireland do stretch this New Zealand team they are finding spaces to attack but they have to be clinical. This is what it takes when it comes to a quarter-final, you don't get many opportunities particularly against the All Blacks and when you do get your chances you've got to take them.

    Andrew Porter wins a turnover and Ireland break!

    Keenan finds Lowe, and the full-back puts in a big shift to help his team-mate out as their pair were stranded!

    Aaron Smith spots a gap and almost snipes through. He's hauled down and New Zealand are building here.

    That was a big period of Irish pressure but you have to remember the All Blacks are ahead on the scoreboard!
