New Zealand Rugby Defeats Ireland 23-13

New Zealand's rugby team, under coach Scott Robertson, achieved a significant 23-13 victory over Ireland at Aviva Stadium, marking a turnaround after a disappointing Rugby Championship. The All Blacks demonstrated exceptional game management, particularly in the final 20 minutes, overcoming a brief second-half deficit and ending Ireland's 19-game home winning streak. Robertson praised the team's courage and defensive abilities, with standout performances from Damian McKenzie, who contributed most of the scoring. The win is seen as a crucial confidence boost for New Zealand ahead of their upcoming match against France. The victory also holds emotional weight as it avenges last year's World Cup quarter-final defeat against Ireland. Captain Scott Barrett emphasized the need for further improvement, particularly at the breakdown, as the team prepares for the next challenge.
