    I wouldn't even swap this result for a reversal of the Brexit referendum.

    Kuang1 you now have to do all match threads.
    Thought might never see us win now 2 in two years. No tries for NZ

    Sorry for your loss. Happy to hear there was just a small silver lining in the day.

    This too shall pass.

    Never been happier to lose a €20 bet. Fantastic work throughout. Magic

    It's only a game played by a handful of countries

    Some very uncharacteristic mistakes from the All blacks today. Both Reid and Retallick made a number of handling errors.

    World Cup will be ours for sure now. This NZ team is child's play, by next year we should be able to roll them over.

    Ffs. Are you trolling? Ridiculous statement.

    NZ really should have lost last week too, and lost to SA recently and lucky to pip them in another game

    Are they well and truly being drawn into the pack? That said this could be long forgotten by September next year

    When was the last time NZ played and didn't score a try?

    Think that was down to the pressure the Irish defense had them under at times

    McGrath was a lucky boy. 2 ridiculous box kicks in the last 5 that put us under needless pressure.

    That said, woooohoooooooo :D

    My wife was losing patience with me for giving out each time they kicked the ball back to them.

    Rory Best would make a good President when Micheal D retires.

    He'd have all the skills and there isn't much loose ball play required.

    What a game. We might never see an Irish team like this again. Every one of those players is a permanent legend

    One thing I have to say is Henderson significantly kept up the physicality when he came on. Exactly the type of player you want on for that type of game

    Those last 10 minutes were incredible. What a result. What a team. What a match. It was sensational. I didn't get to see Ireland vs NZ in Chicago in 2016. Although I have that match on DVD at home; I haven't watched it yet. It's my very first time seeing Ireland win against NZ & on Irish soil. What a great f*cking day this has become for all of us. The tears are now rolling down my face with delight. Well done to Ireland. Thanks for making me happy today. You're a team of legends.
