All Blacks Ardie Savea goes on the run in their Test match against Ireland at Eden Park.
New Zealand unfurled a commanding first-half performance to beat Ireland 40-21 in a bruising Test on Saturday and extend their remarkable unbeaten streak at Eden Park to 53 matches.
The All Blacks scored four of their six tries in the first spell to lead 28-7 at the interval, setting up a third win from three matches in the inaugural Nations Championship.
Playing their final game of the season, Ireland failed to mount a sustained assault on the home side's 32-year-old record in Auckland.
They paid for an error-riddled start in which they missed too many tackles and made fundamental handling mistakes. The visitors improved as the match progressed but couldn't add to this month's Nations Championship wins over the Wallabies and Japan in Australia.
