HUGE!

Ireland make a mess of the line out but they regroup to smother Sam Cane over his own line and Ireland have the scrum within touching distance!

Bundee Aki and Joe McCarthy are there to pump the crowd up!

In other news, Jordie Barrett's card will remain yellow and he'll be back with us once his time in the bin is up.

Remember the story about New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson playing club rugby for Ards in Northern Ireland for a year in the 90s?

Well, here's the wholesome moment he was reunited with David and Ann Heron, who welcomed him to Ards 31 years ago, ahead of the game.

Ireland haven't been able to get ball in hand enough. We know how dangerous they can be when they get into their flow.

Get the ball in hand and start playing some rugby and get this crowd into it!

It is getting drier out there and Ireland will need to sharpen up their kicking game and make sure they are contestable. They can't keep relying on All Blacks' errors.

This is the moment that led to Jordie Barrett being sent to the bin. Was it the right decision?

Ireland will have a man advantage at the start of the second half. Can they make it count?

A strange half that started at a rattling pace before errors and penalties slowed things down considerably.

Not much from Ireland in an attacking sense but they'll be encouraged by that break in the final play of the half. Have to make the most of Barrett's time off the field now.

Also, there's a giant carrot dressed in Irish kit running around the pitch at half-time. So there's that...

How it started, how it's going.

The All Blacks' challenge has been met!

Ireland have not been at their best but Andy Farrell's men will be delighted to be going into the changing rooms just three points back.

The head coach will need to get more energy out of his players in the second half.

Jack Crowley lands the simple kick, and that's all she wrote in the first half.

It's a yellow card for Barrett.

It's going to the bunker for a review as we tick towards half-time.
