Paddy Wallace admitted Ireland's latest defeat to New Zealand was another chance that got away.

Tied 8-8 at the break after Wallace’s try had cancelled out an earlier effort from New Zealand wing Sitiveni Sivivatu and fly-halves Ronan O’Gara and Daniel Carter had traded penalties, indiscipline from prop Marcus Horan midway through the second half allowed New Zealand to get their noses in front and they were never headed.
Carter’s third penalty in the 60th minute, after Horan was penalised for using a forearm, gave the All Blacks a crucial 14-11 lead.
