It doesn't get much more surreal either... To go 111 years without a win, and then to record their first one playing a home game in Chicago!

I can imagine the Irish Free Statecwill be rocking all night long plus tomorrow.



Which channel was it on? Zilch on anything sky?

Annoyingly, the England matches are on Sky. Everything else is on either the BBC or BT Sport. BT in this case.

40 points on the ABs AND a win? Fabulous stuff, one for Axel that.

At long last they've caught up with Munster.

As a Welshman we have won 3 times - arguably a 4th which the NZ player confirmed on his deathbed that he cheated an prevented the win in the 1970's - I can only dream what it must feel like to beat the best.

Enjoy it - frankly the other games Who cares this ones is all that mattered.

Totally awesome game of rugby
How far does foley reach

[epom]

2 greats.

[Leins]

Fantastic stuff, and some proper talent coming through the Irish ranks now too!

Amazing news that I've just read about (friends arrived - much wine and yacking) but I've found there are highlights on BT Sport 2 at 11pm on Sunday evening.

Great stuff by the Irish. The All Blacks have been impressive in recent years but they can't win every time.

I think there is another All Blacks/Ireland game in Dublin on the 20th .

Credit to the Irish, slightly under-strength NZ side made a lot of uncharacteristic errors but Ireland played a very good game to make it count. Rematch in a couple of weeks shoud be a big game too.

Amazing team spirit. Sheer guts to repel that AB comeback. And that chase at the end that resulted in the 5m scrum, wow. Savea got rinsed.

I suspect their heads hurt a bit more than mine...

[irocfan]

TBH the BaaBaa's match was fun to watch... as long as their #11 doesn't end up playing against England what a monster!!!

[Smollet]

A fine effort nonetheless

I pity poor Italy on Sunday. There's going to be some pretty pissed off Kiwis running around a field looking to vent their frustration. Could be a bloodbath.

Fingers crossed for Parisse running 5 tries in.
