    The Irish are hurting after today's 23-13 loss to the All Blacks in Dublin

    The Irish are hurting after today's 23-13 loss to the All Blacks in Dublin


    The world No 1 side were handed their first home defeat in 20 matches at the Aviva Stadium, as New Zealand first five Damian McKenzie helped kick them to the victory with six penalties.

    A late Will Jordan try sealed the result... Ireland coach Andy Farrell says the accuracy wasn't good enough from his side to win a big test match like that.

    And the Englishman says that hurts.
