Ireland have missed five tackles so far, compared to New Zealand's one.

Andy Farrell will be keen that number doesn't rise too much higher in this first half.

Tadhg Beirne spots the ball in a ruck and goes for it. It's legal, but he knocks it on and New Zealand will have the scrum.

Mark Tele'a almost works his magic out wide after some stunning offloads across the back line.

James Lowe manages to get a crucial interception and thump it clear, and Ireland somehow win the turnover in their own half.

This is manic!

Barrett plucks the ball out of the air but Rieio Iaone is thumped back by a hugeeeeeee Garry Ringrose tackle.

Massive hit and that's lit up the crowd once again.

It's sent high and James Lowe gathers, but this time Mack Hansen is penalised for being an escort runner and the All Blacks have the penalty.

McKenzie sticks it into the 22.

The All Blacks nick it on the Irish throw but are worked back to the 10-metre line.

They'll look to build.

Ireland have not allowed the danger men of New Zealand time on the ball. The last thing you want is to do that but the visitors have not had a chance to be their usual free-flowing selves.

Thirteen minutes in and we have our first bit of niggle.

Paul Mescal appreciating the gladiatorial spirit on show as he's caught on the big screen.

There's a bit of a scuffle as Scott Barrett takes exception to Joe McCarthy. Two Gladiators going head-to-head in Dublin.

Completely unrelated, Paul Mescal is giving that a huge cheer in the stands as he pumps his fists in the air.

New Zealand look to feed Will Jordan from the scrum but he's quickly smothered.

The All Blacks recycle it quickly but, just like Aki, a handling error hands Ireland the scrum.

We saw Damien McKenzie's incredible kick to win it at Twickenham last week shows that he is capable of punishing teams off the tee from just about anywhere.

He has done so there and Ireland will need to be careful of giving away kickable transgressions.

With the focus on kick escorts for this November, that's probably not a penalty on Barrett this time last year.

Been interesting to watch how teams are adapting so far, but that's a cheap one for Ireland. The hosts will be disappointed they gave the early advantage straight back off Ratima's break.

You don't see that very often as Bundee Aki goes to sprint forward but takes his eyes off the ball and the All Blacks will have the scrum on halfway.

Nice encapsulation of this All Blacks side: nervy starts don't faze them and they're able to create something seemingly out of nothing.

Impressive burst from Ratima there - and a warning for Ireland.

As cool as you like from McKenzie and the All Blacks are level!

Hooker will be an interesting position for Ireland tonight.

Ronan Kelleher has only played 11 minutes for Leinster this season with an ankle injury, while replacement Rob Herring hasn't played any rugby at all since the summer tour of South Africa.

Regular hooker Dan Sheehan is out until the new year, so that will be one to keep an eye on as the two hookers are thrown into the cauldron!

Ohh, Ratima is almost away from a ruck and he's into the Ireland half! It takes a recovering Josh van der Flier to chop him down.

The All Blacks recycle the ball and win the penalty after Ronan Kelleher infringes at the ruck.

That is exactly what Jack Crowley would have wanted. A relatively routine kick to do his confidence the world of good.
