All Blacks beat Ireland 23-13

Happy to say my prediction was wrong. These All Blacks finally look to be starting to click under Robertson. To be fair, though, the Irish did look a bit under prepped and polished for their first run in a few months.

Anyway, a win is a win, all the better against the world's number 1 at home. Having Rieko Ioane lead the haka was brilliant, considering the pre-game media chatter.

The ABs are now 3 from 5 against Ireland, including a knock game in the RWC and a game which ends Irelands home run of victories at their 'fortress'. I'd say if anyone was living in anyone's head, it is NZ living rent free in Irish heads.

Maybe Sexton will cry about this one in his next book.
