Ireland struggled to contain the All Blacks' relentless attack in a 26-13 defeat at Soldier Field, Chicago. The match was marred by controversy, with Tadhg Beirne given a red card for high tackling on All Blacks fly-half Beauden Barrett after a lengthy television match official (TMO) review.
The Irish team was severely depleted due to the early exit of influential forward Tadhg Beirne, who was shown a yellow card. Ireland took an early lead with two penalty tries by Jack Crowley, but New Zealand came from behind at halftime, scoring three tries in the second half and winning comfortably.
