New Zealand’s All Blacks have taken the first step towards winning their Test series against the British and Irish Lions with a 30-15 victory on Saturday night at Eden Park.

Rieko Ioane, making his first start for the home side, bagged a double as the All Blacks marched towards victory.

The Lions put in a great effort and first half injuries to Ben Smith and Ryan Crotty seemed to give them a chance.

They were only five down at the half-time break, but had the game taken away from them after that and looked tired at stages in the second half.
