Ireland’s B-team has beaten the Māori All Blacks for the first time as the green team continues their run of success in Aotearoa.
The result came as a result of strong defence and pressure at the breakdowns which led to the Māori team making numerous handling errors and squandering the ball.
Ireland captain Andy Farrell says even though the midweek players don’t get a test cap for the match, they treated it as a test.
The 30-24 scoreline in challenging conditions in Wellington means the series was drawn.
