So we might’ve beaten the mighty all blacks, but it took one of your own to do it! Proud as an Irishman but will forever cheer on the ABs for being the standard of quality, etiquette and blueprint of beautiful rugby that every nation strides to replicate!

Great to see New Zealand fans acknowledge Ireland deserved the win. I'm English this is why I love rugby union.

Superb and gutsy win by an Irish team high on determination, self belief and skill. The All Blacks simply not up to the challenge in the second half, looking scared and clueless in all honesty. Thought they would at least put up a fight regardless of being a man down. Still have a chance to take the series but Ireland fully deserve to win. Pretty obvious they own the All Blacks these days, home and away.

Finally a ref that hands out cards to nz players who enjoy giving away penalties in their 22, a sneaky move becaus giving 3away is better than 7pts plus u get back to halfway after a demolition on the line. Fantastic job Ireland
