OMG. Sexton taking max time with kick. Over. 40-29.
And it is now an 11 point lead and 3 minutes to go!
3 minutes.
Come on Ireland! Hold, Hold, Hold!
AB can’t win from here. AB handling mistakes gallore.
ANd it’s a penalty to Ireland! Surely that does it!
They can’t lose now. They have done it!
Ire penalty. Kicking for goal. Taking his time. Miss.
Congratulations Ireland! Magnificent!
Ab scrum. Siren goes.All over. Ire winning. First time ever beating the AB.
Ireland make history! 111 year drought broken!
Wow!! Just Wow. Was not expected at all. What a win.
Massive by Ireland. NZ were not at their best but they would have still beaten any other team today.
AB grand slam is over before it even started.
@ McLook:
Will be interesting to see how the ABs perform in their next matches. Do they come back stronger and more devastating or will they be rattled.
AB winning streak also over. Will be another AB vs Ire clash in two weeks.

They will come back more determined, I reckon.
Would love to hear Hansen’s thoughts.
And the heavens open here in NZ. Raining like never before. Must be the tears of the nation.
@ McLook:
Cheers McLook, nice to watch the match with you. Take care mate.
Joe Schmidt provided the blue print how to beat the AB. We need to really analyse this game and last year end of year AB/Ire match, which was a close affair as well.

Well done Ireland! That’s two momentous sports results in Chicago in this week. Must have been destiny.

@ The_Young_Turk:
Thanks for the updates sounds like you watched a very good game

He is a very good coach Joe Schmidt although I don’t think beating the All Blacks would have been part of their plans for him serving his apprenticeship with Ireland…
Hansen. Right side won. No excuses. They put us under pressure. Was not over confident going into it. We know they are a good side and that we need to show up. First half Ire had all the momentum.
Need to start all over again. Some injuries which complicate things.

Historic game. Great match to watch. Intense for both sides.

Schmidt certainly made a big difference since taking over.
This will give Wales and England the believe that the AB are not invincible.
Joe Schmidt. Humble. Proud of the boys. Felt some dejavu when AB start coming back.
Can’t beat the AB with only 15 or 17 players. You need a squad of 32 top class players.
Injures to AB had impact on result. The more we got to the end the more the crowd started to carry us.
Apologising to his Mom who is an AB fan/supporter.
