The All Blacks outscored the Lions three tries to two to maintain their 24-year unbeaten record at Eden Park. But they were struggling to build on that lead in the second half before Ioane, selected ahead of prolific try-scorer Julian Savea, exploded into action. It led to Ioane's first try and the second came when the All Blacks forwards secured turnover ball. The All Blacks countered the renowned Lions' defensive line speed by employing the visitors' tactics of direct crash-and-bash up the middle. In a torrid second half in the rain, the game broke open with Ioane's tries on 55 and 70 minutes.
