"I didn't spend too long thinking about the 2019 game. We took some lessons from that but they were learnt a long time ago. The performance allayed concerns from fans after Barrett's only previous start in the No 6 jersey, during the All Blacks' semifinal loss to England at the 2019 World Cup.

Check match and telecast details of Ireland vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI. Kiwis lead the three-match series 2-0 after two nervy wins.

The series is part of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. New Zealand are currently fifth with 80 points from eight matches, while Ireland are ninth with 68 points from 20 matches. They first met in 2007, during the World Cup. And they have done well so far to test New Zealand in the first two ODIs. Now, Ireland will eye a morale-boosting win against the Kiwis when the two teams meet in the third and final ODI at The Village, Dublin on Friday. The IRE vs NZ, 3rd ODI will be telecast live. For the hosts, Harry Tector and George Dockrell have played eye-catching knocks, but the Andrew Balbirnie-led side will need contributions from other batters to challenge a far superior side. The same goes for their bowlers. The 31-year-old then followed his 127 not out off 82 with another unbeaten knock, 42 off 40 in another tense chase.

The score is one game each going into the final clash of a three-match Test series that has not disappointed. The All Blacks crusied to victory in the opening ...

“They’ve learnt a lot because it was pretty brutal out there, the conditions, it was swirling everywhere and for a young side to be able to manage their way through a game when things aren’t going right the whole time, I thought was tremendous. “I was more pleased with the team performance (than individuals) because the obvious thing to learn from the first game was that some lads were pretty desperate to show everything they’ve got and they (now) understand that it’s always got to be team first and not just disciplined with the referee but disciplined in how we play the game. The All Blacks crusied to victory in the opening game two weeks ago in Auckland, but Ireland made history by becoming the first ever Irish side to win on New Zealand soil.

Helping Ireland claim a historic series win over the All Blacks tomorrow would top off a memorable time in Lowe's life, the tour also affording him a chance to ...

With one big final push to come in New Zealand’s capital city, Lowe acknowledged: “We’re just clicking at the right times. “Tomorrow’s going to be hugely exciting and (we) can’t wait for it. Our shape in attack, our speed to get set, our defence, our kicking game needs to be on the money again. “If you told us that at the start of the tour, we would have bitten your hand off for it. So if we can go into the summer having beaten New Zealand twice in a row, that’s huge. Things are going well on and off the pitch.

“It’s about playing in the right areas of the field. Kick pressure, high ball, ruck, back entry into the ruck, they’re all the things that go a long way to winning a rugby game. “What needs to improve? “It was always a dream to play international rugby. Everything really – our shape in attack, our speed to get set, our defence, our kicking game needs to be on the money again. To be given the opportunity in Ireland has been amazing and then to tour in New Zealand with the potential of a game-three decider, it’s an amazing opportunity and something that we’ll probably never get again.

New Zealand have already won the three-match series 2-0. But the match will not be a dead rubber with 10 World Cup Super series points up for grab.

New Zealand have already won the three-match series 2-0. That surpassed the previous 50th-over best in ODI games by England against Australia in 1987.

After Rieko Ioane and Scott Barrett were lucky to avoid cards in the first Test, they were hit with four in the second, two of those for head-high collisions. When Ireland picked up another win in 2018, they were given a pounding at the next meeting at the World Cup. And after the most recent Aviva Stadium win for Ireland in 2021, they came back down to earth during this summer's first Test at Eden Park. Please review their details and accept them to load the content. In 2016 they came to the Aviva Stadium two weeks on from their defeat to Ireland at Soldier Field and gave the most brutal response, at times overstepping the mark. Peter O'Mahony (above) will be 33 in September, but his performance in last Saturday's win was among the best he's ever produced in either red or green. Few would have expected, or even predicted, Ireland to win the series, and although tomorrow's decider isn't a free shot for Ireland, there is a sense that barring a heavy defeat most supporters would be quietly pleased with the month's work. On the bench, there are further signs that Ian Foster is going all-out. Improvements are expected from New Zealand, and not just because of who they are. You couldn't get a better challenge in terms of having to back up what they did against New Zealand last week, and doing it again next week," said Donal Lenihan on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast. While Ireland are certainly still underdogs, entering the game with the 'free shot' mentality would defeat the purpose of creating the replica World Cup environment. Prior to last weekend, they hadn't been beaten at home by a northern hemisphere side since the Lions in 2017. To overturn the series from 1-0, Ireland would not only have had to beat them, but to do it on consecutive weeks.

Remember, Tuivasa-Sheck is 29 which means next year in France might be his one and only shot at a global tournament, so if the All Blacks really believe he could be an asset in France the centre needs plenty of game time. One key difference from the last week to this is that the legendary second-row has recovered from a head injury to take his place in the XV. Whitelock was key to their first Test triumph, consistently disrupting Ireland’s lineout ball and denying them try-scoring opportunities in good areas. The All Blacks had one player sent off and probably should have had another, so it will be interesting to see whether they adapt.

Martin Guptill and Henry Nicholls set Ireland a daunting 361, and they came agonisingly close.

Since his 57against Netherlands at homein March, Nicholls had managed just 104 runs in eight innings across formats at an average of 13.00, until Friday. Along the way, he had had to deal with a bout of Covid-19 and a calf injury. Stirling brought up his 13th ODI ton and his 150-run stand with Tector via a carved four off Bracewell. He turned up the tempo two overs later when he dashed out of the crease and mowed Michael Bracewell over the long-on boundary for the first of his five sixes. He was responsible for the wickets of Delany, Tector and Lorcan Tuckner. After hitting a hard length to draw a return catch from Curtis Campher, Tickner then smartly kept the ball away from the swinging arcs of Ireland's lower order in the last over. Young, however, panicked under pressure and ran himself out while trying to scramble a second run next ball, leaving Ireland with four to get off the last two balls, with No.11 Josh Little on strike. With Ireland needing 10 off the last over, Blair Tickner, New Zealand's least experienced seamer and their most expensive bowler on tour, closed out a one-run victory as New Zealand broke Irish hearts once again.

Thanfully, Andy Farrell's side surprised the Kiwis last weekend with a 23-12 win over New Zealand, to make sure that this weekend's game will decide the test. Here's everything you need to know including how to watch Ireland v New Zealand. After a disappointing start to the tour which saw Ireland lose to the Maori All Blacks and New Zealand in the opening games, many people felt that the test series was out of Ireland's reach after a long, gruelling domestic season for the majority of the players. After last weekend's triumph in Dunedin where Ireland beat the All Blacks on New Zealand soil for the first time, Andy Farrell made a full 15 changes to his side for Tuesday's game against the Maori All Blacks.

“Excited. It is where we want to be, a series decider against the best team in the world. We wanted to find out about ourselves on and off the field and we have certainly done that. “We have got to stay confident with what we are trying to do. “And we’ve got to make sure we put a bit of doubt in the All Blacks’ minds as the game goes.” It’s 28 years since New Zealand were beaten in a series on home soil - can Ireland create yet more history? Aaron Smith leads the Haka, starting behind the rest of the squad and calling them to march forward into formation, presenting themselves in three rows of black shirts.

Minute-by-minute report: Who will win the series decider in Wellington? Join Lee Calvert to find out.

It’s claimed in the lineout, the drive is set up and walks over the line for Van Der Flier to flop over and open the scoring. New Zealand fitful and a little disjointed, but with enough dog in their scramble defence and pizazz in broken play or on counter to frustrate and indeed take the game. Ireland busy and creative, making enough dents up front and with territorial kicking to make the All Blacks reel a bit. Sexton spurns a kickable penalty to put the ball in the corner. Bundee Aki and Andrew Porter are both untidy at the ruck and are ruled to be off feet. Finally, the ball is out and NZ are taking narrow carries up via the forwards sticking close to the ruck. Ireland are deliberately not committing too many player to the breakdown, and they stand so far off one the All Blacks end up knocking on due to their own momentum not being stopped. This allows Keenan to put a testing kick on Jordan who takes it but is stopped dead by the chasing Hansen and on the next possession Tu’ungafasi knocks on. Possession is not very secure however and as NZ get it back David Havili punts a 50:22 and the All Blacks will have an go in the Irish 22. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later? The New Zealand response to this is to start chucking it everywhere and losing whatever limited shape they have. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later?

While the Irish look like a team, the All Blacks look disjointed and like they only for the first time earlier today. This could get real ugly, real quick, if ...

Aki was superb after coming off the bench and he'll be looking to replicate that performance. New Zealand coach Ian Foster has made four changes from last Saturday, with the forwards Nepo Laulala and Sam Whitelock coming back into the fold, who should be a big boost with their vast experience. says Andy Farrell, and it's hard not to agree with him after the win in Dunedin. This is going to be some spectacle. A poor miss and one which perhaps indicates All Black nerves. A narrow escape for Ireland. Lowe is unfortunate that his huge boot isn't deemed a 50-22 but it doesn't matter, off the next maul Ireland get the turnover and are back in possession for the scrum. It doesn't matter though as Johnny Sexton gives up a penalty for not rolling away at the breakdown. New Zealand look rattled and again their discipline, or lack of it, is letting them down. Ireland get the scrum and kick it out to end the half. Well, well, well, New Zealand can't even get the lineout straight. An incredible half of rugby from Ireland. Every player in green has stood up and out performed their opposite number.

Journal Media does not control and is not responsible for the content of external websites. James Ryan then claims a lineout as Ireland apply all the early pressure, and win a penalty. I think Barnes has gone from being one of the worst refs 5 years ago to the best in the game now. Irl pressure is just too much and defensively AB all over the place. Ciarán Kennedy here to bring you all the action as it happens. There’s one further change on the bench as Aidan Ross, the prop, is replaced by Karl Tu’inukuafe. Barrett is replaced by Akira Ioane and Tupou Vaa’i comes onto the bench. It all started with that brilliant turnover from Van der Flier at the other end of the pitch. It’s his eighth try for Ireland. Johnny Sexton drags the conversion wide, but that’s a brilliant start by Andy Farrell’s side. They go in search of an early try, working their way through over 20 phases in the Ireland 22, but Ireland’s defence is excellent. Once again, Ireland make a flying start against the All Blacks. After enjoying all the early territory, Ireland go the corner, win their own ball at the lineout and their maul proves too powerful for the hosts, with Josh van der Flier the man who dots down. New Zealand go again and Ardie Savea powers over.

Ireland are looking to claim a historic series win over the All Blacks.

The ball trickled in Ireland's favour but still a super kick It's outside their 10 but Sexton going to have a go at the posts They go into this buoyed by not only the result last Saturday but also the manner with which they dominated large swathes.

Nathan Johns brings you all the action from the series decider between New Zealand and Ireland.

The All Blacks have their backs to the wall and their coach Ian Foster is likely fighting for his job, will that bring out the best in them? He spills forward and the All Blacks have a scrum on the Irish 10m line. 31 mins: Another penalty for Ireland as the All Blacks clear beyond the ball. 17 mins: Another error from the All Blacks as the lineout throw is long and Barrett spills while trying to gather. 23 mins: All Blacks penalty inside the 22 as Sexton doesn’t roll away. The All Blacks run a few phases before Jordie Barrett clears. Just the start the All Blacks needed to this half. Ireland immediately go wide and Keenan’s grubber into the 22 asks questions. What a half from Ireland. The All Blacks have been poor, constantly coughing up possession with errors in attack while their phase play looks aimless. Plenty in the All Blacks camp will be asking why that’s any different to the red from last weekend. The Ireland defence is very stretched and Murray is caught offside. What defence this is from Ireland in the closing stages.

The series victory will go down in history as Ireland's greatest rugby achievement, against a side that tormented them in an utterly one-sided rivalry for over ...

Wayne Barnes says he did absorb the tackle so that was the mitigation stopping it from being a red Ireland cut through NZ for the first time this half. But Ireland persevered and wound up winning another lineout in their territory.

Ireland only won away to New Zealand for the first time last weekend by bouncing back from a 42-19 drubbing in the Auckland opener to triumph 23-12 in Dunedin and set up the decider.

Wellington was the setting Andy Farrell's Irish side sought to create history against the All Blacks. Here are our full Ireland player ratings.

Couldn't control a bouncing ball from a restart and his knock-on gave the ABs a scrum on the right wing. Shut down Savea on a scrum carry, near the posts. Lineout throwing was on the mark, but the Kiwis were not exactly flinging bodies in the air to contest. Safe as houses on the early lineouts. Missed an early conversion, from out wide, and was short with a kick to the corner. Grubber-kicked the ball straight to Aaron Smith, ending a promising attack. Nailed a 49-metre penalty and a touchline conversion, as he found his range. Just as Ireland may have looked to be wobbling, they won a penalty, bravely kicked for an attacking lineout and Rob Herring did the rest with a powerful score. Made a bad call, on 68 minutes, by not finding touch from a kick inside his 22. Unfortunate to give away a breakdown penalty when he lost his footing. Made two big tackles in the space of 20 seconds, on 33 minutes. When another Sexton kick, from halfway, struck the crossbar, New Zealand countered and Will Jordan scored in the corner to make it 22-25.
