Ireland get revenge over New Zealand
Ireland produced a much-improved performance, headlined by two tries to Jordan Larmour, in a 30-24 win over the Maori all Blacks in Wellington Tuesday.
It was the display that would have pleased coach Andy Farrell as he looked to develop experience throughout his squad ahead of the World Cup next year.
Memories of Ireland's dismal first week on tour when they lost to the Maori and the All Blacks faded into the background as they completed wins over both sides in the past three days.
In a match that produced four yellow cards and a penalty try, the largely second-string Ireland -- with only three players in the run-on side having played more than 10 Tests -- looked a much more cohesive unit than they did in their first match.
Their opening try to Larmour came from inspired thinking by Keith Earls, the captain for the night, who caught the Maori napping, and the second to Nick Timoney started from a lineout steal at the other end of the field.
Defensively, Ireland were quick to shut down attacks by the Maori, forcing multiple errors by a side keen to play a running game despite greasy conditions after a day of heavy rain.
They also benefitted from a smart kicking game by halves Craig Casey and Ciaran Frawley.
Following an early try to Maori wing Shaun Stevenson, smart improvisation by Earls put Ireland in front in the seventh minute.
As the Maori forwards slowly made their way to a lineout, Earls threw the ball in quickly to Larmour who raced, untouched, to score under the posts and leaving Frawley with a simple conversion.
Frawley was on target again 20 minutes later with a handy penalty. From the restart, when repeated offences saw Cian Prendergast yellow-carded, the Maori preference to kick for the corner rather than take a shot at goal inadvertently turned into more points for Ireland.
The tourists stole the lineout and made their way to the other end of the field where Nick Timoney drove over for the try, Frawley again converted and the Maori All Blacks had Ollie Norris sent to the sin-bin.
Another Frawley penalty a minute into the second half increased Ireland's lead to 20-5 before the Maori All Blacks managed to score for the second time with the penalty try which also saw Larmour yellow-carded for an early tackle.
As the game loosened up the final quarter produced four tries.
Gavin Coombes extended the Irish lead when he drove over for a try from close-range and the Maori replied when Reuben Love started and finished a 80 metre move
Larmour touched down in the corner to complete Ireland's scoring before Maori scrum-half Brad Weber scored on the stroke of full-time.
The Ireland tour ends with the deciding third Test in Wellington on Saturday.
