All Blacks hold off plucky Ireland
New Zealand withstood a spirited Ireland challenge to win the second Test 27-17 in torrential rain at Eden Park in Auckland this evening.
For those who didn't get to see this match, don't be taking the Ireland prospects too lightly next weekend, they played a pretty decent match here.
New Zealands score included seven points from a Chris Jack knock-on, which was unsighted by the Ref, so it could have been even closer. EVEN the Kiwi commentators saw it!!! I know, I hope nobody faints on reading that![]()
"Bloody oath we did!"

Damn right they did. And last week as well. I've never been one to barrack for "anyone who's playing the All Blacks". Leave that kind of stuff to the KiwisOriginally Posted by Burgs
But I've always had a liking for Ireland and I sure was yelling for them yesterday. Damn shame.
