A Gripping Rivalry
The last time these two met in the 2023 Rugby World Cup, the All Blacks edged out Ireland 28-24 in what many consider to be the game of the tournament. Since then, Ireland has continued to dominate Northern Hemisphere rugby. Their remarkable journey saw them secure back-to-back Six Nations titles in 2023 and deliver an impressive performance in South Africa, earning a 1-1 Test series draw. Their recent victory in the second Test, clinched by a dramatic Ciaran Frawley drop-goal, showed their resilience and determination.
Despite their recent success, New Zealand has historically had the upper hand over Ireland, although recent years have shown a shift in the balance. The Kiwis come into this match fresh off a dramatic win over England, setting the stage for another intense battle against the Irish.
