All Blacks 40, Ireland 21: Optimism Returns at Eden Park

Six tries, 40 points and a statement victory over Ireland.

Martin Devlin and Jamie Wall react from Eden Park after the All Blacks produced their most complete performance of the July internationals, racing to a 28-7 halftime lead before closing out a convincing 40-21 win.

They discuss the improved defence, Tupou Vaa’i’s successful move to number six, the dominant set piece, the key moments that broke Ireland and what the result means before the All Blacks head to South Africa.
