Never! POM was superb, but for me Healey and Furlong laid the foundations of this famous win!

How long does it take for an entire nation to sober up?
I guess we'll find out in a week or two!

Terrific win. Ireland fronted up, matched NZ for intensity and workrate and came out good winners.

That was a truly spectacular win. I don't think I've seen anyone control a game like that against the ABs since England in 2003. SURELY we'll finally manage to get to a RWC semifinal next year!
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
NS. Gone but not forgotten.

I’ve never seen a better defensive effort in test rugby. A deserved win. I feel a disturbance in the force...

Re: Ireland v.New Zealand
That was something for shewer.
I've said it for a long time, but I think Ireland have been the most complete team in world rugby for the past few years.
NZ get all the plaudits for their expansive game and skill set, but Ireland just soaked it all up and outscored and out-tried them.
Early favourites for 2019 imo.

Peaking too early, bro.
Seriously, since RWC2015, only NZ and Ireland have beaten every team they have played since then at least once. They are the teams most capable of beating any other team on a given day.

Re: Ireland v.New Zealand
When Ireland won in Chicago the NZ team was rather shorn of locks, on Saturday of all teams NZ weirdly ended up with no back row, the flankers raised a white flag to POM and Read is either a spent force or desperately needs some time off. Also NZ are perhaps playing the long game with the fat security guard on the loosehead, and maybe we just chalk that game up as a stumble he'll come back from even if Saturday was a struggle

Two wins in three tests against the All Blacks, eh?
Must be like Wales in 1935 over there!
