Andy Farrell bemoaned his team’s error count and lack of accuracy as Ireland were beaten 23-13 by New Zealand on Friday night to end a 19-Test winning run at Aviva Stadium.

This eagerly-anticipated rematch of two of international rugby’s greatest rivals of the past decade following an epic World Cup quarter-final in Paris 13 months ago, and which the All Blacks edged 28-24, failed to live up to the billing in Dublin as first-year head coach Scott Robertson relied on the goal-kicking of fly-half Damian McKenzie to see them home with 18 points from six penalties before a Will Jordan try on 68 minutes put the tourists out of sight.
