Ireland outplayed New Zealand to claim a statement 29-20 win in a sensational match held in front of a raucous crowd of 51,000 at the Aviva Stadium.

Trailing by five at the half, the hosts surged into a lead with scores from Ronan Kelleher and Caelan Doris.

The All Blacks fought back through a Will Jordan try and reduced the gap to three with 10 minutes remaining.

But Joey Carbery kicked three penalties to send the home fans into delirium.

It is Ireland's seventh consecutive win, and conclusive proof that this side has the ability to compete with the best in the world under Andy Farrell's system of expansive rugby.
