The All Blacks claimed victory over Ireland, breaking their 19 game unbeaten streak at home. 

They were led by the boot of first-five Damian McKenzie who scored 18 of their 23 points through six penalty goals, beating Ireland’s 13. 

Piney caught up with All Blacks assistant coach Tamati Ellison to recap the win. 

“I just had a lot of respect for the Irish attack, so they wanted to make sure they got enough defensive reps in, and they, you know, they drove the messaging and obviously fronted up on D as well.” 

"That's the thing I'm proud about most.”
