All Blacks Punish Ireland in Dominant Eden Park Win The All Blacks' 40 21 victory over Ireland at Eden Park served as a stark reminder that even the best laid plans can falter when facing a team in top form.
The New Zealand side, bolstered by recent wins over France and Italy, capitalized on Ireland's first half mistakes to maintain their 32 year unbeaten record at Eden Park.
Ireland had entered this match off impressive victories against Australia and Japan but were clearly outmatched from the outset.
