Sexton adds the extras - no sign of an injury niggle there

More points for Sexton and more for Ireland as the ball sails through the posts

17 19 - 0

Cruden slots a conversion to take New Zealand's total up to seven

33 22 - 7

To the delight of the Irish crowd, Sexton adds some more points

64 22 - 15

Ben Franks manages to get over from close in as the tension reaches fever pitch in Dublin

65 22 - 17

What an incredible finish we are in for as Cruden makes it a five-point game
