- The All Blacks kept their Eden Park winning streak intact with a powerful performance against Ireland. An early try from Keith Earls was not enough to stop the hosts racing away in the first half and despite a better 2nd half the home side were too strong. #TeamofUs #ShoulderToShoulder #NZvIRE
Ardie should be captain his work rate is amazing + always consistent. Well done AB from a SA supporter .
You obviously didn't see canes tackle on furlong, changed the momentum of the game, lifted NZ and shocked Ireland
@@joedennehy386 The one decent thing he did all night.
Other than that he was found wanting.
@@joedennehy386 1 tackle?
Nah Ardie just needs to focus on his game, that’s when he’s most deadly..
I agree with a new captain just not sure Ardie is the one.
Ireland came to play!! Much love and respect from nz
Well done Kiwis...Southern Dominance..respect and love from SA
We stick together, go get em Welsh Boks.
Are you white

Smash em Boks
Mind blowing that such a small Nation, for ever, been so good.
Which one? Both nations full of heart and fight
@Ben Moore Must say growing up in NZ as a kid we started playing rugby at a very early age, I remember every break at school we would have a rugby ball in our hands playing or kicking goals or playing a game we call bullrush, which really helped with our rugby skills and determination to make it across the line. Just like a lot of the kids in England and different parts of the world have a soccer ball(football)
glued to their feet.
@@tarzangoldblum567 Irish provincial sides mirror our own. Tribalism and respect for each other. New Zealanders are looked after over in Ireland. Remember the famous story the IRA held off their attacks because the All Blacks were in town.
Munster still revels in their famous win over us Irish and Kiwis are mates.
@Ben Moore 😊
What do you mean, They have the Fiji and Samoa as well to choose from
“He can run through puddles without making a splash” love the commentary
Funnily enough I actively dislike that commentator for his forced over the top style of commentary ! !
@@theknowledge.6869 facts
@@theknowledge.6869 yeah me too, even that comment about running through puddles sounded rehearsed
Still my favourite ever commentary quip was, I think an Irish commentator during a Heineken Cup match, after one of the teams had just scored an outstanding try, said _"Its champaign rugby with extra bubbles!"_
Classic commentary, would pay to have his commentary for southern hemisphere games
Nah that grubber and the vision from Beauden Barrett was incredible
Yeah looked like a fake cross-field then flicked the switch into a micro-short-fast grubber that killed the centres' rush defence. One of the best "plays" I've seen in years and perfect location on the pitch. Ball in that position on the pitch, they knew their options perfectly.
Then the split backs scrum in the middle with big carry by number 8 was perfect: Spread 'em, then go down the middle, if they concentrate in the middle then spread fast ball. Teams should score in that context 8/10 times.
The one good kick he did all night. The rest were rubbish.
@@brucefale6132 Who?
He has that ex factor about him he stuck his hand out and prevented the Irish from scoring around the 20 min mark which probably would've made it 12-0 to Ireland a timely intercept.
@@Rugby-union-and-sports straight up. Bb was on fire. Sure his kicking was not a hundi but he was taking it into contact more often then usual - Awesome!. The tri's both him and aza help orgastrate was unreal. His over all game was on point. Thats why i was asking who? Some of us must of been watching something else.
Great to have Ireland touring NZ!!
great for New Zealand alright
@John Bob Fossett where are you from pal?
@John Bob Fossett what a BS response. No one is denying Ireland and their past world cup performances but to say they aren't worthy of being a tier 1 nation is ridiculous
@@ocodeskamcdbsm John doesn’t understand Rugby.
@@DavidSmith-yi8ou clearly.
Enjoyed the contest. Ireland came with intent all game, unlucky with dropped balls over the line. Some great action and speed from both teams. Ireland clearly need Sexton on the field as it was noticeable when he went off. Thank you Ireland for coming to play, you are worthy adversaries, bring on game 2. Who improves the most next game, think the ABs will just get better now they have shaken the rust.
I dont think Ireland have anyone as reliable as Sexton. They will be screwed if hes out injured come WC
No worries coach lol
@@00Aroha be humble cuz
@@Horicantfish 😂😂
@@00Aroha was he wrong with his analysis? Seems pretty spot on 🤷🏽♂️😂
Awesome game, the All Blacks defence is what won them the game. And Eden Parks unbeaten streak continues, can't wait for the second test I bet it will be as equally entertaining as the first if not more so
I didn’t think it was that entertaining, not long after 20 minutes it was clear who was going to win. Hopefully the next me will be closer. The AB’s are usually entertaining win or lose.
Yes they only missed 15 tackles out of 200.
I thought it was their ability to make individual breaks and trust themselves to score.
Great contest between 2 proud nations👍🇮🇪🇳🇿would like to give special mention to Ardie Savea who just never stops and in my opinion worlds best player👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
100% I rate him the same Ardie has dominated the number 8 Jersey for the AB and no replacement good enough to challenge him in NZ currently. Player of the match today.
@@steveaustin7997 he is too small for 8 or 6 but a huge engine. A good 7. We accommodate for sam I am captain. We looked better with reserves on. Pita at 8. Dalton at 7 and ardie filled 6( ardie fills this role well(or 8) when opposition are tired). The defensive hole was 12,13 where the Irish found all their tries.will need Goodhue or Havilli back to plug that gap. Was good to see all black reserves bring back better again, haven't seen that in a while.
Scott Barrett at 6 flies into rucks with his leading shoulder, another ref would've carded him, the look of guilty across his face. He doesn't look like changing his "send me off" style.
110% agree!
I wouldn't say best player my bro there's a few numbers in the all blacks like Aaron Smith you could class him as the best as well
@@oldblack15 Ardie can fill 6 7 or 8 size is irrelevant when you're a power house like Ardie my grandson looks like Ardie another reason why I rate him lol .👍👍
The Seas parted in front of him...the waves made way - I love this commentator! Well done both sides but hats off to the ABs - 28 points in 20 minutes. Mind-blowing. Irish will be sharpening their defence and ensuring Sexton stays on that field.
He could run across a puddle without making a mark
Nice game !
Congrats All blacks 👌
From France 🇫🇷
Cheers brothers. Still behind you fellas in France 🇫🇷 😎
As a Kiwi I am happy we won but in all honesty there are only small adjustments that need to be made by Ireland to be in with a shout. Defensive missed passes that allowed the ABs to attack from broken play, better set piece play and more decisive pods at the line will need to be fixed and if they are Ireland are right I it. Ireland did get over us a couple of times.
Keep in mind Ireland have been playing together before this game so there team chemistry is already on a roll where as this is All Blacks first game together.. so they are gonna have to adjust a lot against a more confident All blacks side the next few weeks
as ever a very humble and gracious Kiwi, why we prefer you to arrogant Aussies
i agree with ya helo but at lineout da all blacks jumped right across da line twice which resulted in turnovers so that's up to da ref to call that, those were two more building moments that could have made da scoreline closer but ya da all black's deserved da win overall, Ireland gifted two soft tries and got punished
Ok coach wanker
@@damienjackson9214
The missed passes were a result of pressure applied from NZ giving Ireland a taste of it's own medicine with "rush" defence. NZ contesting the set piece also resulted in turnover at Lineout & Scrum
Well done Ireland, hard fought just too many dropped balls! I can see you guys improving!! AB'S are going to be hard to beat!!!
Well done New Zealand! Excellent performance.

The worst thing anybody can do is start doubting the All Blacks or New Zealand rugby in general. The backlash is almost always severe.
Not really…go to sleep I thought I told you to go to bed.
Doubt? There's been very low expectations from the Irish media going into the tour. Most optimistic say "if we could nick 1 one that'd be huge"
Was nt a backlash.A couple of oppertunistic tries relieved the presure. Abs only played better when they lead by 15 odd points
@@cruzerblack8789 first they need to play well to get that 15 point lead genius. It doesn't magically appear.
@@cruzerblack8789 ,Ireland were awarded two dodgy tries and nearly got a third but lucky for the replay it was overturned if that isn't 16 players on the field what is.
A tough lesson for Ireland. Fell asleep at the end of the first half and the game as a competition was over in the space of about 10 minutes. Good periods of play but this doesn't bode well for the rest of the tour, think our lads are gona be wrecked after that physical effort and the injuries are mounting up rapidly whereas NZ have a few key players coming back in next week.
NZ had won the game in the first half mate. So no dropping off, just Ireland got hammered mate.
@@KiwiGraggle yep literally never mentioned dropping off in my comment good man
@@tyronegaa Yeah, from a Kiwi you guys were immense! As you said, just a rough end to the first half put it too far from reach
@@Nicolas-lg6ys Thanks for the humility Nicolas
As a kiwi . Small adjustments will make the contest even closer . The lose of Sexton early was a major blow . Our defense was immense.
Great win to the All Blacks, Maori's, and the Kiwi's League team. What a country!
when you look at INTL success in All forms of oval ball sport you have to ask yourself whats in the water in NZ ? answer- nothing- just one of the reasons NZ are so good.
@@kelbatt7729 ,and to think theyre also world champions in the second biggest sport in the world cricket and netball too not to mention other world cups like 7s and woman's rugby too also the Americas cup the holy grail of sailing these are just some of the world cups they have and I'm only talking about team sports not athletes..I think it has a lot to do with their psyche NZ always think they can win no matter what the sport they're very optimistic whereas other countries for example Ireland they're saying things like I'll be happy with one win etc etc NZ never think like that it's the wrong mindset even their hockey teams have been world champions before oh and they finished third per Capita at the last Olympics which shows you they have great athletes too.
By the way im predicting that the kiwis will win the world cup in October they have a very strong side at the moment and also think the Black ferns will retain the womans rugby world cup in October although England have a very strong side at the moment.
From a Kiwi Irish commentators are elite
All blacks too elite
Kiwi commentators see no wrong with All Blacks. Any thuggery is deemed physical aggression
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 Could be true but I'd just say the All Blacks have copped a lot of thuggery over the years in the name of "putting us off our game" or "making us uncomfortable". It goes both ways

Game a lot closer than the score reflects. Ireland were unlucky not to have a few more things go their way. ABs looked lost at times, and lost possession too easily at times as well. I would like to see Papalii start next week, I love Cane and the setbacks he has had to overcome, but he does not do enough for me at 7. Tupaea, Bower, Whitelock and Reece were the standouts for me.
I want all 3 barret brother gone they don't do anything for me they been hyped up for what giving away penalties and letting in a easy first try and kicking the ball awayb
Awesome performance NZ!
We'll try and get you next week☘️
We know you will gallant Ireland.
"He can run through puddles without making a splash." Okay, that commentary line was genius... 😅😂😏
Irish commentator sounds like he’s narrating a battle from Lord of the Rings… entertaining!
That's why New Zealand is always feared.
Kiwi Boi awesome ireland much respect bruh
Beautiful kick for the third try! NZ will be the team to beat at the World Cup I feel.
I'm big time All Blacks fan but this commentary is Too Good.
New Zealand smashed Ireland's set pieces and broke them on defence. They deserved more reward for a totally dominant scrum. 6 tries to 3 is a very convincing performance. Ireland will be much better next week but so will the All Blacks.
Quite enjoyed this Irish commentary.
Yes and unbiased.I can't stand Pommy commentators when the Poms are playing.They get muted.
I can't stand our own NZ commentators. Some being ex All Blacks are unbearable whether we win or lose.
Same here.
1:58 he pretended that he aimed at outside!! Beautiful kick
Ireland are still a threat to any team look how far they've come as a small rugby nation like NZ , it ain't easy touring nz, go my mighty All Blacks.
Great game Ireland bit unlucky with some calls but to our boys yous dug deep awesome performance brothers , that’s y we are one💯🇳🇿💪🏽
@I have an interest in North Korea no North Korea is a way better team than the ABS… ask Kim
This commentary is better than ours.
Les blancs sont impressionnants.
Ils donnent l'impression d'une détente impériale dans leurs courses.
Sans parler que, quel que soit le joueur en action, on pourrait croire qu'il sont tous des 3/4 au regard de la dextérité. Bravo.

Thanks Mr & Mrs Barrett for 1/5 of the AB’s
I love being an Irishman , for the 1st minutes 😀
Just didn't go Ireland's way today but it was good to see Keith Earls get the first try of the match.🏉🇮🇪☘👍
"didn't go Ireland's way".....Lol !
Irish rugby is on the decline
@@grantpitkethley8638 Decline? When have they ever beaten the ABs in NZ? This is par for the course.
thats what I mean,Irish are rubbish at rugby..a few good years..but back to rubbish again.
@@grantpitkethley8638 won the series. Followed by grand slam
Even when the Irish beat the all blacks at their home they always knew coming to New Zealand would be the ultimate challenge.
AB's looking quick witted and sharp, not perfect but good enough, Ireland had their moments but not enough of them to threaten the outcome. Both Barrett's had good games, BB still NZ's best 10 at international level
BB all day for me
Agree,I still dont know why they did not play him at 10 when they toured the North,he should always play 10.
So you agree, the 3rd Barrett not so good?!?!?
The defense at the end by the ABs deserved to been showing it was pretty good by Reko
Great game Ireland! 🇮🇪 respect! 🔥
We love Cricket from India
The AB’s just wanted it more, they were hungry,!disciplined with some very resolute defence with a slightly bias homeground advantage. Well done!!
They may have wanted it more but they are on a different skill level altogether, from an Irishman!
@@johnmc3862 In a way you’re right however, I like to think that it was more about not allowing Ireland to create history of beating the AB’s in three consecutive games in consecutive years. Historically and consistently every season, the AB’s have always had more W’s in the right hand column, rather than L’s. Points for and against is nothing short or phenomenal, on many occasions usually with less possession than their opponents. I truly believe but, I could be wrong, the AB’s have the best home and away record. At the end of the day, both sides would have gladly settled for a one point win and bragging rights. Ireland will come back strongly but, I expect the AB’s to have improved also.
Different beast at home but the world cup is in France thank god
Thank god
The ABs have a good record in France too last year's loss is their only loss to France in the last 15 tests .

Glad someone else noticed, the lad had some toe, had he been chasing down another fwd, done and dusted, Ireland was not short of effort, on any other day perhaps? good luck for the remaining games.
You can clearly see NZ is the stronger and faster team. Ireland competitive but not close contest.
It was apart from a ten minute period? New Zealand were the better team but the gulf isn’t as big as the scoreline suggests, actually if there was no breakaway try the momentum would of swung Ireland’s way, but credit to New Zealand for finishing every sniff of a chance during that period, that is why they are so good

Four mistakes, four missed tries, sorry Ireland. Barrett not a flank. Man of the match, Ardei
a rusty all black side only going to get better
Difficult game to really assess. I think the result was flattering to the ABs in the end. You can see from the stats that if Ireland fix a few issues the score would have been much closer. I hope we get to see Ireland put together a complete performance for the second test so we can really see where the ABs and some of their players are at. Biggest area of concern for Ireland is their scrum and maul, which didn’t live up to expectations, much like the mid week side. All Blacks defence has been a shambles under Fosters team, the phrase black wall hasn’t been uttered for several years now.
It can be uttered again now. The defensive stats for this game speak for themselves. Can they maintain it consistently game to game is another question.
In the pro rugby era there is only one stat- the final score
@@kelbatt7729 in the pro rugby era? It's all that matters regardless of the era

Good Game, and Good Number.

A good call to hold the 1st game at the House of Pain. Set the tone early on.
Typical AB's game. Slow in the 1st 15mins, while finding their rhythm & looking for weaknesses.
Then finding their rhythm, the Irish weaknesses, upping the tempo & striking back with vengeance.
With 15 mins to go, up the tempo again, & closing the game out.
AB defence simply outstanding. Holding Ireland up over the line 5 times shows great character & commitment, & surely must be some sort of record.
Excellent Reff'ing, & a superb performance all round, which I hope muffles the outspoken Fozzie critics.

As a South African
You must be white
kim jong un, what has 'white' got to do with his statement?
There were some encouraging signs. But this is the learning. To play the AB's they have to play the fast phase game early in each half (to get the edge) and then ease off a bit - they cannot sustain the intensity without tiring and then the AB's will pounce. They can still retain the ball by using the pod/secondary option system to build pressure for penalties and deny the AB's the ball to respond with (but certainly not the offloading under pressure that results in lost ball). A periodic switch back to the fast phase option if the opposition gets ahead/is ahead later in the half.
The Irish got it about right in Dunedin. But with the decider in Wellington to come there will be no further advice.
Good game all blacks

Great game. Good to watch as a relative neutral (Scottish).
Although, struggling to see how the ref can be standing there for the last NZ try from the scrum and not stop the game for getting in the way? He's clearly blocking - is it O'mahony - from making a standard hit on the 8. Nonetheless, NZ do well to turn the scrum and the 8 does his job running hard at the gap.
