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.

Aaannd breathe.

It's not been the highest quality, but it's been some watch.

We've still 40 minutes to go!

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.

It never looks good in slow motion, but Barrett could be in a bit of bother here.

His shoulder definitely makes contact with Ringrose's head, but he wraps his arms and that might save him.

Tadhg Beirne wins it this time and Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose race forward.

They work into the 22 and they win the penalty!

The crowd are calling for a high tackle by Jordie Barrett on Ringrose.

Nic Berry has been pernickety and has not really let the game flow but both sides have littered this game with errors.

Not really what we expected from these two.

Hugo Keenan smashes Jordie Barrett, his future Leinster team-mate, in the 22. New Zealand manage to clear, but Ireland have the throw on the 10-metre line.

Ireland have lost the last couple of throws. Can Kelleher make this one count?

New Zealand extend their lead in Dublin!

Two minutes to go until half time!

Caelan Doris is warned for an accumulation of penalties in the red zone.

Nic Berry says another one and an Irish player will be in the bin.

McKenzie calls for the tee and this looks like a banker.

Caleb Clarke spots half a gap but is chopped down.

The All Blacks are chipping away in the Irish 22 here...and win the penalty advantage!

A penny for their thoughts, how much would these two love to be involved tonight?

It's a testament to the Irish defence so far that New Zealand have managed just the two penalties from all that possession and territory.

Yet to show much in attack, though, and if the hosts are going to kick as much as they have so far they need to get more pressure on the chase.

It's another penalty for New Zealand just inside the Irish half as Beirne is penalised.

McKenzie sends it just outside the 22.

It just feels like the All Blacks are gaining the upper hand here.
