Gibson goes over for try number 3 for New Zealand

Nearly a magnificent try from New Zealand with Apa touching down after an exquisite offload from Li but the referee adjudges that the ball went forward and Ireland will have a 5 metre scrum.

New Zealand get there second try of the game with Tevita Li getting his second of the night as he steps past Dow and dives over under the posts.

Ireland are penalised once again with at least two players in an offside position from a Carberry kick. This time New Zealand opt against the posts and Black kicks to the corner.

Black gets the second half underway

Blake Gibson definitely going to be next richie macaw.....offside all day and getting away with it

i think the ref is doing ok the byrne

So ref has to be bias to all age groups of all blacks.

Black splits the posts and that is the final play of the half with New Zealand heading to the semi's. The game is still all to play for and make sure to stay with us for updates and analysis of the second half.

only a forward would give away a pen like that.....and right at the end of the 1st half
