    Justin Marshall. Feel deflated. Great match. Historic but hurts in the chest.

    Injury situation will make rest of tour interesting. Ireland deserve their won. Best team on the day won.

    Congratulations Ireland.

    111 years of history, flushed away down the dunny. All gone all forgotten.
    They (Ireland) were a little hard done by last time they played NZ, so they thoroughly deserve this win.

    @ cane:
    Hi cane yes straight after I saw the result I thought about that game and that possibly dubious very late penalty. This will be a huge achievement for Irish Rugby, it’s not every day you beat the All Blacks. They would have been riding on a huge wave of emotion still following the passing away of Anthony Foley and it seems they won the game in style with a pretty comfortable lead at half time and by the 11 point margin in the end scoring 5 tries in the process against the mighty All Blacks.
