Carter saves All Blacks
New Zealand snatched a 22-19 victory over Ireland with a desperate 79th-minute goal by Dan Carter as a bruising rugby Test reached a nail-biting finish in Christchurch yesterday.
The All Blacks were reduced to 14 men in the closing 10 minutes and were playing a lock at flanker, but the result gave them a 2-0 lead in the three-match series and preserved a 107-year unbeaten record against Ireland.
Six minutes from time, Ireland fly-half Jonathan Sexton had a chance to create history with the scores locked at 19-all but his optimistic 50-metre penalty fell short.
