Any talk of New Zealand losing their fear factor has been grossly premature. This 23-13 win not only ended Ireland's 19-match winning run at home, but also reinforced the All Blacks as being as formidable a team as ever.

That was cemented with ten minutes remaining, as New Zealand worked it from one wing to the other and Jordan found himself free to saunter over out wide. Ireland could not mount a late comeback, their unbeaten run, which had stretched 19 matches back to defeat to France in the 2021 Six Nations, ended.
