Jamison Gibon-Park, sporting a new aerodynamic haricut, sends a superb clearing kick into the New Zealand half.

The All Blacks will have their first throw of the evening.

Having seen the replay, that was maybe a bit harsh on Jordie Barrett for obstruction as he didn't change his line to block Hansen.

Referee Nic Berry said otherwise, and Ireland will take it all day long.

First blood Ireland!

Ireland win the throw and Gibson-Park sends it high.

Will Jordan jumps to gather it, but Ireland win the penalty as a couple of black jerseys come across the path of the chasing Mack Hansen.

Penalty right in front of the posts. Crowley points to the sticks.

This scrum gets going a bit quicker than the last effort, and Ratima finds McKenzie who thumps it clear.

It's a great kick, into touch over halfway.

Ireland's incredible home record is built off of fast starts. They will have a chance to use some of the stuff they have worked on in training and that's a nice opening.

Bundee Aki goes direct from the scrum and Caelan Doris almost spots a gap.

Ireland are going through the hands and are now well inside the 22!

It was all looking promising but Aki spills the ball.

After the roar of Porter's charge down, this scrum is taking its time to get going.

The conditions aren't helping, but we've had three attempts at doing it now.

You'd never describe Andrew Porter as your average prop but "Ireland's loosehead with a chargedown" isn't a sentence you'd be expecting to write 90 seconds into a Test match.

He immediately turned to the crowd and gave a roar in celebration too.

Ireland seem well up for this.

Andrew Porter, you animal!

The big prop races forward to charge down Cortez Ratima's kick, and Will Jordan knocks the ball on as he tries to regroup.

Scrum Ireland just outside the 22, and if this game is to be decided by small margins then that could be one of them!

These two are going to really go for it from the start and the opening five minutes are going to be really tasty. It will set the mark for the rest of the game.

Ireland gather the ball from the kick-off and it's Caelan Doris to try and bring the ball out of the 22.

James Lowe sends one of his trademark kicks up to halfway, and Will Jordan swiftly responds.

This will be a testing night with the wet conditions.

The time for talking is over. Damian McKenzie sends the ball into the Dublin night!

Let's go!

The Aviva Stadium atmosphere isn't always known to be crackling but, there'll always be something about a visit from the All Blacks.

All 51,000 in their seats for a huge rendition of the anthems and what a roar after the Haka.

GAME TIME!

Oh, hang on! Ireland do come forward right at the end. New Zealand hold their positions just after the Haka has finished and there's a stare-off between the sides.

Challenge met. This should be good.

The Irish players stand well inside their own half as the Haka takes centre stage.

No creeping forward to meet the challenge. Caelan Doris stares straight ahead.

They want to do their talking on the pitch.

Blimey, there we go.

That was quite the rendition of Ireland's Call.

We all know what is next. It's time for the Haka.

The cameras cut to Beauden Barrett in the stands during the New Zealand anthem. How big of a miss will he be this evening?

A top, top player.

Michael D Higgins has made his way down the long line of All Blacks and Irish players on a soggy Dublin evening.

It's time for the anthems, and this should really set the tone for the 80 minutes ahead.

Ireland can win this but if the All Blacks are still in it late in the game and get the fresh legs in the pack, they are capable of overpowering anyone.
