    Anon: All Blacks are out 'Irelanding' the Irish at the breakdown.

    Beauden Barrett spots a gap with a chip and chase.

    He gathers the ball and although he's clattered by James Lowe, New Zealand move it fast and Fainga'anuku is over in the corner!

    Ireland had no answer there!

    And now New Zealand win another penalty after Josh van der Flier is isolated in the 22.

    Ireland need to get up quicker there or that will be easy pickings for New Zealand.

    It is a deserved lead at the moment for New Zealand. Ireland have been unable to launch anything yet, as I said before they really need to hunt that ball.

    Ireland can't lay a hand on New Zealand, this could be a cricket score.

    It's sustained Ireland pressure but New Zealand win the turnover on their own line!

    They manage to clear, but it's only up to the 22.

    Ireland 0-6 New Zealand

    Mack Hansen and Gibson-Park combine to bring Ireland into the 22. What a move.

    New Zealand get back and bring Garry Ringrose down, but the noise has gone up a few decibels!

    Both teams are looking a bit edgy at the minute. Neither side are playing the vintage rugby that we have seen from early on in the pool stages.

    You can tell the pressure of the quarter-final is here. They're just trying to feel each other out like the early stages of a boxing match. No big punches but just trying to test each other.

    Jordie Barrett (14 mins)

    Barrett sends over a monster kick from the halfway line to extend New Zealand's lead.

    He's judged that one to perfection.

    Caelan Doris is smashed on halfway and Ireland give away a penalty.

    New Zealand are pumped and Savea, who got his hands on the ball, lets out a huge roar.

    Winner of this has a bye into the final, absolutely massive game.

    Ireland 0-3 New Zealand

    New Zealand win their own throw deep in their half and do a good job to clear.

    Gibson-Park spots a bit of space deep in the NZ half but, after a bit of a panic, the All Blacks manage to clear and Ireland have the line-out on halfway.

    Ireland 0-3 New Zealand

    New Zealand disrupt the line-out but Ireland get it back.

    They're now five metres out and go wide to James Lowe, but he can't gather Hugo Keenan's off-load and the All Blacks survive.

    That was an epic first couple of minutes arm wrestling. Something was going to have to give, from an Irish perspective a great defensive set.

    They have given away a penalty but it could have been a lot worse from that kick.

    Ireland have the ball just inside the New Zealand half.

    Can they put on sustained pressure like New Zealand did at the other end?

    Ireland 0-0 New Zealand

    Make that 30 phases and the All Blacks finally get the penalty advantage.

    New Zealand go into the corner with a kick but James Lowe just does enough to stop Will Jordan getting a hand on it, but back we go for the penalty.

    This is a Joe Schmidt special. It will be interesting to see what he has up his sleeve in terms of set-pieces to try and open up this Irish defence.
