Jonathan Sexton missed out on his chance to kick Ireland to a maiden Test victory over New Zealand in the second Test, but he is eager for one more chance to topple the world champions.
The fly-half kicked 14 points and made the most yard gains for his side but fell short with a penalty attempt from the halfway line, which would have put Ireland three points clear.
His kick came up agonisingly short and it was left to Dan Carter, his opposite number, to slot over a drop goal in the final minute to win it for New Zealand and give them a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
