- November 2018. Ireland have never beaten the All Blacks in Ireland but Jacob Stockdale's superb second half try and 11 points from Jonathan Sexton's boot inspired another historic result for Joe Schmidt's men in Aviva Stadium. #TeamOfUs #IrishRugby #IREvNZ #AllBlacks

That stockdale try might just be one of the greatest sporting moments in Irish history
Really enjoy the fact that the Irish crowd don't boo the kicker. Respect.
It is fantastic, and I'm sure intimidating. I wish our NZ crowds would do something similar and not 'boo' the opposition.....
That's all started with Munster years ago, respecting the kicker and filtered in to Rugby throughout Ireland thereafter. Every other country jeer chant boo whistle etc during the dead ball kicks. I see that in England they are attempting to mirror Ireland in the "Respect the Kicker" campaign but it doesn't seem to work. With that said, it doesn't seem to bother the kickers if the crowd are jeering. That dead silence tho has got to be a bit alien to some kickers. Particularly French, cos' their crowds are by far the most vocal during dead ball kicks.
@@DAGATHire It didn't start in Munster. It has always been the case that Irish crowds, no matter what province, usually respect the kicker.
@@hedonaut to a certain extent. But not dead silence. Munster started that. And In Case you get the wrong idea about me, I'm from Leinster. I remember very well when that began in thomond park. It became a mark of Munster home games. Then it filtered out. But that's where it started. Fact
@@DAGATHire The English do respect the kicker I think all the 6 nations are pretty good. The worst I have heard are the Aussies
Damn. Im French, and Ireland is everyone's second team in France. Was watching in a cafe in Lyon, we all jumped in joy when you guys won. With France kind of up and down for the past years, you guys'll be our country's favourites to win the world cup. Congratulations !
@Shuggy Thomas yes, I think you are right. England have for long had the same problem in football. Although I hope the French go far in the WC, i doubt they'll go any farther than the 1/4 finals, which would be a good feat considering the group they're in. But there is always room for hope, just like the Irish can hope to win it all next year, which would greatly help European rugby. Btw thank you for the French translation, my friend ;) .
Studio Théo..lovely comment Thankyou.
Studio Théo }}} Merci Mon Ami !..A kind gesture. .I have spent some time in France & thoroughly loved every moment, had some great memorable times there with the French friends I made during "5 Nations" & "6 Nations" fixtures over the decades.
Win, lose or draw we always enjoyed your welcomes & the "craic".
So I'm sure if visiting Ireland, you'll all be given a heartfelt "Ca Mile Failte".. (gaelic trans: ).."A hundred thousand welcomes".Keep up the support & I'm sure the "Boys In Green" will reward your hopes. Merci.
Thanks for your support. Merci beaucoup
France nearly beaten south africa, they are on the up too. It seems, france pitch up every world cup, so, as a south african, I will never wright off a french team to win the cup
5:15 terrific grubber kick...
Certain try-saving work by Peter O'Mahony...
Unsung heroic work!
Ireland are true legends. Heart of Rugby 🏉 🇮🇪 huge love and support from a Rugby lover from India 🇮🇳
peter o'mahony snatching that grubber ball was a moment where the momentum could have swung to NZ. It’s small moments like that which can define the game. What a match, I’m English and loved watching these two class teams go at it!
The amount of pressure from Ireland was unmatched by NZ. Ireland 100% deserved the win
Peter O Mahony a king amongst men
He’s an absolute animal
Agreed. He was absolute class
Huge shift! MOM
Rhys Jones one of the best performances I’ve seen from a six his heart is just huge he never gives up even when the legs were gone he managed to get to that grubber kick from barret
@@ryanflaherty2754 I have to agree with you. Its just a shame its taken people this long to realise his class. I was blown away by his performance. I was impressed with the Welsh and Scottish performance but the Irish were just incredible
You could never do that game justice in highlights less than 80 minutes long! Incredible sport, theatre and humanity...
Configuration
so true
Well done Ireland no excuses from us kiwis this time... better team won on the day.
So proud to be Irish
@Forward To The Past It's Hugh Cahill
The irish commentary leading to Stackdale's try must be one of the most exciting in the rugby history. So much passion and at the same time technical! A shame they cut the footage just afterwards. Loved that game, still have goosebumps.
I live in America an I miss Irish commentary of their sports
The drop goal won v France best ever
yea it really shows you that great commentary does so much for a sporting moment
Respect from Italrugby! Ireland fantastic, what a match! Ireland plays in 2018 of the most strong and spectacular rugby of the world. See you at 6 Nations irish brothers
I'm an all black Fan and this Irish team has gone full beast mode. Well deserved.
Kudos, Ireland, best team in the world. From and Englishman.
😊
Haha not anymore it b u lol
I put an "irish name" but I'm a frenchman from Normandy ; my real first name is Stéphane (Stiofàn in Gaelic) and I'm a big fan of the green army ; I'm a member of the supporter's club of Ireland ; I've been supporting this magic team for more than 15 years and I'm so proud of you guys : O'Driscoll, O'Gara, O'Connell, O'Callaghan, Stinger, Sexton and so on ; I saw these 2 grand slams 2009 and 2018 plus the 2 victories in a row 2014 and 2015 ; my heart is green for sure ; merci à vous messieurs pour m'avoir fait et me faire vibrer comme aucune autre équipe ; je suis fier d'être un Français tricolore vert / blanc / orange !!!
STIOFAN DUNDEALGAN you are as Irish as I am . I am of Norman decent too as are may Irish glad you are with the green army. 😊
Keep going mate from your Ireland
I come from Dun Dealgan (Dundalk)! What on earth made you select that one for a surname?? Lol
I visited that town during one of my 8 trips to Ireland ; It's the Corrs' home town and I love that band !
I’m from Ballymurphy west Belfast
Bravo Irland!!!...bravo Almirante Brown!!!.. cheers from Argentina.
Thank you

Come on Ireland! What a match! Salut de France.
Ireland
Toner doesn't get enough credit! What a performance by the mountain 🔥
ye hes 7 foot tall
CONGRATS Ireland! Our love from NC. USA
Our hearts...
im late with the comments but.. love ya'll.
From a fellow Celt in Wales, great to see the All Blacks being brought down a peg. God knows we aren't going to do it anytime soon. Well done Ireland. Take that form into the World Cup next year and you are contenders.
So are Wales. The great thing about the next world cup is how many teams there are that could plausibly win it.
Don't say that,wales are brilliant at rugby!I'd say that wales are massive contenders for 6 nations and if u continue playing how u r now,I'd say ye can be contenders!
For RWC
And so the Irish are packing up their bags because they were destroyed by ABs at RWC 2019
Raped
@@williamfiji6946 😂😂😂, Savage!!!!
I think this has probably been the best game of international rugby for 2018.
Why? Because no other team in the world has so thoroughly dominated the All Blacks for a full 80 minutes, not even my team the Springboks.
The Irish played like a world-cup winning side.
Well done!
The Springboks did thoroughly dominate them in Pretoria, but only lasted 70 minutes. Damn we came so close that day but just slipped at the death..
@@UzMadBro Who peaked?
@@Karma-qt4ji NZ and Ireland.
@@UzMadBro Hmmm. might be a dangerous assumption come World Cup time. But you could be right, time will tell.
@@Karma-qt4ji Dangerous to say that for NZ, I do not know about Ireland.
Ireland and those Northern sides tend to have a few good seasons then fall off the edge of a cliff. Wales and Scotland in the start of the 6 nations really did not impress me.
I know they will say they are slow starters, but that is just an excuse, it really is.
If England can do what they did to Ireland in their first game, then how come Wales, Scotland and Ireland have not been able too?.
That to me means England are on the up and the others are on the downward, which is what happens up their. They may of had a few good wins over NZ, but it is that consistency that they lack up in the North.
What I think is that Ireland will not be beating NZ anytime soon, haha.
Outstanding win ! Kiwi All Black's supporter here, we love the Irish, hell, a lot of us are of Irish decent. Well played, so much passion, just don't get too used to it....Lol !
yes because during the brittish occupation most irish people were said to be prisoners when they werent and millions of people were shipped to new zeland and austraila good luck in the wc
I bet if you counted all the people In the world with Irish decent it would probably be in the 100millions
We took your advice, and indeed we did not get used to it. England made sure of that! Lol
Speak for your self I can't stand them
@@mangukahaaotearoa9324 Stupid kiwi. Go marry a sheep ya imbecile
I'm a die-hard AB fan...but I gotta give Ireland their dues. Well played lads.
respect
Respect
Ireland need to pull their finger out of their asshole
That stockdale try still gives me goosebumps
Ive watched the game three times now. Unbelievable Ireland, top class
How can I watch a full replay mate?
@@DiomaMurphy-Rourke there's a video of it on UA-cam I think Paul Jennings is the name of the channel but I don't really remember
@Shuggy Thomas just a dumb comment
@Shuggy Thomas you say this because you are biased against them mate look at it from their side
Why, i was a shitty AB performance against the best Ireland could play. Not exactly a great game lol. A good game would be both teams at full str in neutral place. Score would be different and you would be limping home like o driscoll :D
it was the greatest performance ever by an Irish team .. hope we will reach these heights again soon... the atmosphere in the last minutes is as good as you will ever get in any sport .... what a game ...Oh the Humanity !
I know this is a bit late. But in 2023 this rugby match would represent ireland on a bad day. I'm so proud of how far we've come.
Let’s hear it for Andy Farrell, a sensational defensive performance- a fantastic win.
Schmidt has been wonderful as coach of Leinster and Ireland but Farrell doesn't get the plaudits for his background work, nor does Lancaster who will be leaving and thank you so much Stuart. Everyone knew Joe was leaving and a lot of Irish fans hoped Farrell would get the job. And if it doesn't work out, Leo Cullen is waiting.
Not so defensive at the WC quarterfinals...the game that matters...ABs absolutely bullied them
Oh my, Ireland....... well done!!! Congrats from a PUMAS supporter.
Incredible crowd too, I must say.
You might finally beat us next year in the WC ---- tough team.
Hopefully we can avoid Argentina in the WC and play someone else, I am sick of you guys!
I hate it when we meet you guys in world cups lol if past tournaments form has anything to do with it Argentina will be right up there with the best again.
Ha) You Pumas are tough
We have (and I mean Argentina and Ireland) surely the best rugby WC rivalry ever.
Id love to be able to hate ye, but I cant hate what I respect.
@@Camcolito haha.... I know how you feel, but the day you beat us in a WC will be triple happyness for you guys. That day is near if you keep playing like this
Happy to see this. I'm an older guy and I can remember back in the 80s in the days of that barsteward Carling when the Irish put England to the sword at Lansdowne and I was watching with an English girlfriend of mine. I am a Scot but of one hundred percent Irish ancestry so I was sitting there on the sofa saying nothing. I will never forget when she turned to me looking for commiseration or consolation and could see me grinning like a Cheshire cat. Back then I thought that was about as good as it could ever get, an occasional upset against the old enemy. I never thought I would see the day when the Irish were beating the all blacks and it was what we expected. High times indeed.
Ed McGuigan and all helped along by an English defence coach 😉😉😉
@@Benboy1980 Oh of course I knew there was a reason for Irish success. Its all because of a Englishman or luck. Except he is an English born gentleman of Irish descent.
😂😂😂 I take it you didn't marry that one, good story pal, I hope you are well . Roll on the six Nations.
@@antseanbheanbocht4993 aannnnnd ireland collapses at the six nations.....
Your memory must be failing you old man. Carling didn't lose to Ireland until 1993.
Well done Ireland. What a great team and an Incredible try from Stockdale. I hope Ireland will win the World Cup
I'd keep it realistic and hope they get out of the pools.
lulz
Incredible game Ireland! A perfect test match between two great rugby nations, RWC 2019 is going to be interesting. Cheers from a Springbok supporter!
From an England fan; that pack!!!!!! What can anyone do against that?
Amazing performance and Ireland is experiencing an embarrassment of riches right now. Now more than ever is the time to be an Ireland fan, but we'll still give you a run for your money come the WC in Japan...but if you bring that pack we'll probably lose.
Congratulations on an epic game of rugby. An absolute pleasure to watch.
WC will be wide open this time round. Any of the T1 nations can do a number on the other on a given day. Lots of nail biting coming up.
@@Camcolito I reckon it's going to be one of the best WC ever. Japan will make fantastic hosts and I'm hoping they get their deserved big win. The Northern Hemisphere are fielding some of the most rounded and effective teams in a generation...what a time to be a rugby fan!
Bit different from that time we got destroyed by an English pack in Twickenham. Poor Tom court, probably still has a stiff neck and sore ribs from being turned in for 60 minutes in the scrum
@@jeffjefferson3364 ah, those were the days!
Mind you our lot put a decent performance in for the Aussies so maybe the gap isn't as large as it looked a week ago...even so, not looking forward to facing this Irish team. Has to be the strongest all round unit I've seen the Irish put together and I've been watching rugby for 30 years.
Any chance of retiring Sexton before next year?
@@jonathaneddy not a hope lad! We'll get a record performance at the world cup out of him before that. Saw that final score flattered Australia, we all know England have what it takes to beat any team they just don't seem to be putting it together at the moment. English players sometimes seem to be able to take it or leave it, Billy vunipola has a bad attitude to the game from what I've seen.
First game up in the 6nations in Dublin, looking forward to it.
AS a Scotsman I am looking forward to the day that Scotland will also be beating New Zealand for the first time. Well played Ireland.
Finally!! We have been out classed. Well done Ireland, awesome game!!
outclassed at home by the boks too
Mark Dekker SA?
@@josephsweeney1261 oh yeah man, the boks are looking deadly! Will be an epic cup.
@@boston5208 good call, yeah that one hurt. That game and the follow up in Pretoria showed some real danger from SA! Big rival for us kiwis, much respect there.
Our boys are having to step up even another gear, which is the kind of rugby I have been waiting for. Bring on the WC!
WC will be epic this time round.
Who's here after 2019 rugby world cup? What a victory of 46-14.
me why couldnt ireland do it again
Me
Yup Ireland fails again to make it to the semi final
Yep typcial ireland fucked it up changes should of been made after the 6 nations
I can't believe new Zealand had to win to get rid of our captain and our best coach like cmon atleast they lost in the semi's against the 6th best team
This is going to get buried, since this game was a while ago, but I remember when this game happened, I had met my long-distance girlfriend a few weeks prior and she LOVED sports... but could not care less for rugby; however we watched this game "together" and she was so amused at how rugby was such a funny mix of soccer and football. She didn't understand the significance of Ireland's win and we rarely discussed rugby again after this match, and the relationship has long gone to shit... but those moments we had together were so happy. This game will always hold a special place in my heart because of that.
Nice one man!!
What a crowd!!
i know
Kiwi here... well done Ireland, it takes a lot to beat the best 👍
Watching this during covid and to listen to the roar of the crowd followed by silence for stockdales try really highlights how special the crowd is
What a try! Congratulations, Ireland!
This match was delightful to see.
Bien joué!
Ireland for the first time in about 10 years were as good as commentators have said they are.
Absolutely Brilliant game, as a Welshman I was on my feet rooting for Ireland for the whole 80. Great to see the Northern Hemisphere sides putting down the Southern Hemisphere giants. Can’t wait for the 6 nations :)
never mind the six nations roll on the wc
Well you won the 6 nations now
R u happy
Kiwi here..
I'll be rooting for Wales as my 2nd team in wc.
Ireland always a great challenge for any team. Really put their hearts into every game.
because we irish have a big passion for sport from national sports to international sport
@@seanbrady400 you're not wrong sir, god bless
A hugely impressive effort from the mighty green machine - now favourites for the World Cup, IMHO (I'm a NZ fan).
New Zealand are favourites. I'd put Ireland second. England and South Africa joint third.
C'mon now.. every rugby fan knows ABs are still the favorites.
@Shuggy Thomas buying pacific islanders to play for them? as In paying their born or naturalized citizens to represent their country? You have no idea what you're talking about lol.
Ummm guess again... those players grew up in NZ. You know... like Bundee Aki, CJ Stander, Isaac Boss.
Anyway congratulations to Ireland for raising their win ratio against NZ to 6%.
@@ablewilling2778 CJ stander is south African.
I'm a NZ rugby fan. The world cup will definitely be exciting. Can't wait yol
Congratulations to Ireland and well done to the crowd. To keep so quiet in such a high profile game is very impressive
that's our culture, respect and passion
Kiwi here. That was a beautiful game. Well done to the Irish.
We needed a loss like this before the world cup. Hopefully this will be the push New Zealand needs to lead us to victory next year.
Irish rugby 2018
Those are the GOLDEN days for Irish Rugby
I ask is this a poem, it is a love song, it is history of those MIGHTY WARRIORS written down in print and now chiseled into the rock face on a mountainside near the home place of my adopted son Bundee Aki, in Connemara, west of Ireland.
Down from the glen came the mighty Irish team wearing green with their gum shields and their sworn vows. To fight the fight they believed to be right to overthrow the opposition the greatest ruby team the worlds have ever know, the might All Blacks from the very fine land of New Zealand
In to the Aviva Stadium the Irish boys strode where they drew a line across the surface of the pitch and swore that no man will cross and score a try against us this night, they drove hard and solid to stop the All Backs team back breaking out.
With the kicking skills and directions of the very Saintly Johnny Sexton the Irish team mastered and controlled large parts of the game.
The Irish boys showed their great skills and headed across the line only to be wrongly denied a well-scored try.
This would not going to affect then and a little later then let loose the wild Irish man, the very blessed young master Jacob Stockdale, the Wolf Hound of Ulster with great flair to out riot and score a brilliant try. Moments after this, from his grave we could hear the battle cry of Cú Chulainn driving his warriors on into battle, the boys in green had come to claim their emerald, without it they could not leave, they fought and battled hard and fair from start to finish, lead up at the from by the might Rory Best and under the directions of their brilliant manager Joe Schmidt and his backroom staff, with the foundation laid down by all players past and present.
In our group, we are very proud to state that we had English, New Zealand, South African and people from other countries helping to make this victory possible. We had people from all over the world stand by our sides and cheered along to help us finally claim victory for the very first on home soil and hoisted the EMERALD high in to the sky, letting is shining its brilliant bright light on this world we live on
We wish to spread this joy and sheer beauty of this victor with all who came along and we thank the All Blacks for the hard battle they fought and the people of New Zealand for the part they played.
This was partly composed by that other Irish Warrior the Great Phil Lynott
That was beautiful friend...enough to bring shivers to a paraplegic spine and tears to a glass eye. Love from NZ
@@michaelflaws8502 Hi Michael thank you for your very kind comment, I do hope that you are not suffering from illness or injuries. It is a fact that it took the might effort of All Blacks to make this such a great match, one that will go down in people memory for the rest of their live. every single All Black gave their all and fought hard right up until the very last moment then accepted the result like true gentlemen. This is my chance to send greetings to my old NZ working palls of 20 years ago among them is Steve Jones, Davie Fearless, Calvin James and the other boys
You're talking about That half cast
@@internationalmanofmystery6798 your own words fully explain who you are
Love watching Ireland and new Zealand always going to be a great game the two best teams in the world love from Ireland 🇮🇪💚
Fantastic!!!!!! Stockdale you inveritable beast of a man!
Beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
I'm a boy.
Still sends shivers down my spine. Just an incredible 80 mins of Footy. We really fronted up that day. It might be the most complete Irish performance ever.
Footy? Think u got the wrong side of the world there pal
New Zealanders / Aussies call it footie pal. I'm Irish and the club's are called RFC (Rugby Football Club) because that's the name of the sport. Rugby is just the name of the place the sport began.
I was at this game.....I just came back to have a look at the highlights after watching the same teams play each other in the World Cup yesterday. It’s like ireland are a different team now than they were a year ago, it’s hard to believe. They could barely string a few passes together and seemed to have only one plan one trick for the entire game, same thing again and again that wasent working. New Zealand played great and we ready for ireland they are so good to watch they are the one team that could pick a try out of thin air and could score at any moment. I just can’t believe how far we have fallen in such a short space of time, who would have thought we would have no answer to Japan in the World Cup after being at this. Not taking from them either they were the fittest team there I cheered for them against South Africa
All Ireland done was...play the blacks at there own game..instead of kick.kick.kick..they played rugby...bravo Ireland👍
Impressive the All Greens
hahaha good one, u win another and u may strip all blacks of that title, we will denominate ourselves to new zealand and u may promote ireland to all greens as no.1
Can't stop walking around with a smile on my mush! 😁☺🤗
This New Zealand supporter is very happy to say the all blacks send out challenges in every game they play and that's how u response, I see someone being doing their homework Lol. Well done Ireland that's how u play rugby. Do ur homework and work hard this is the results u get. World class rugby at its finest. Bring on RWC2019
Beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
No dan leavy, conor murray, sean o' brien and robbie henshaw and still went out to outclass the all blacks
well bloody done ireland
ABs missing SBW and Moody, and Irish are bloody huge to be fair, so SBW a better option for physicality! Long year for blacks, plus 50 000 locals is worth how many points? Any other team would’ve been blown by 20, ! Roll on the WC!
Had your best at the world cup though,what happened?
Match incroyable entre deux superbes nations !
I wish there were Rugby games like this every weekend,I miss this excitement.
Ye
Great performance, really entertaining game. All these comments on the WC and being number 1 are sooo boring. I can assure you none of the squad or management care for any of this hyper nonsense. This win is nothing more than a milestone reached as part of an overall project. We have the States, Christmas and then our 6 nations to defend. After that we can chat about the World Cup. It's such an honour for our country to finally compete with New Zealand who are the Gods of Rugby. This couldn't have come at a better time for Ireland as the threat of border posts loom once again.
I'm so proud of Joe for what he has accomplished since Leinster, if he goes home after the WC we should make him a foreign King of Ireland, but one we will always respect and be proud of. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Yeah, I agree. I think if we win the 6 nations, it'll really set us up for the WC.
For me one on those teams will win in Japan. Their level is just so higher.
I'm an indian but I love rugby cuz of green army and springboks they r class nd they r play like a champions ..... once in my life I want to see match in the Irish team fortress they r incredible nd the fans they r wow
The way All Blacks play rugby is pure poetry. Respect for Ireland: only the braves...
Lad another performance like that in the weekend and we’re into the semis. Come on Ireland
bravo l'Irlande !

Still get goosebumps watching this!!!
Irish eyes are smiling on fields of athenry. Well done Ireland

Soooo proud of the Irish team!💚
The Kiwis had no answers that day.
This series should be done for once right after the six nations instead of after the rugby championship.

I'm from Argentina and obviously fans of the Pumas and the Jaguars; however Ireland is my favorite team in the United Kingdom, they are great rugby players and better people. A hug from Argentina!
@Colm O'Keeffe hehe. Was waiting for that
T'was a great game, I remember it well!
EIRE! What a game!
Eire as in the whole island together.
From Éireann, the genitive case of Gaelic Éire, meaning "Ireland". It is commonly Anglicized as Erin. So Éireann !!
Wonderful stuff! Just wonderful 😊
4:38 I can watch this all day
man that night was amazing i was roaring for Stockdales try and screaming HE DROPPPPPPPPED IT when the All Blacks dropped the ball
6:01 Greatest fans in the world❤️🇮🇪
Great chance to win world cup only wish England had same amount of grit determination and bottle
Great rugby.
That was a great year for Irish rugby, we played as one. Everyone was in sync. I don't understand how we could just lose all of that skill.
Wow Rugby by far has the best crowds. At least here how Irelands fans are basically giving them celtic power in the most important time of the game.
Yes rugby is 1 and 4 on the list of best attended sporting events per match in the world with the six nations and rugby world cup.If rugby had bigger stadiums it would probably take the two top spots.In 2016 99,140 turned up at Camp nou in Spain just to watch two french clubs play,Toulon and Racing 92 and this year 2020 around 60,000 turned up just for a university game in Japan between Meiji and Waseba.The world cup is giving rugby the exposure it needed to grow which it has really only had for 33 years with the first world cup.
This could happen tomorrow.
Toner consistently made Retallick look like a child. Immense performance.
Feels like a long time ago now!!
I'm after watching this game in Full 4 times now since Sat, I'm obsessed by it ( ; *What a fuckin' performance by Ireland* I'm 35 years old & i have never ever seen an Irish performance like this in all my life. I've witnessed some Epic/Heroic wins over the years but this win for me was probably the best performance i've seen by any Rugby Nation in the last 15 years. I knew this team under Joe were going places, I Could see the progression i knew we'd reach new heights but i never thought i'd see the day were an Irish
team Would take to the Aviva Pitch & Totally Outclass, Out Think, Out Play, Outsmart, Bully & Totally Dominant NZ up front for the full 80 mins. (I'm still in fuckin' dreamland)
Soilder Field is nothing compared to this lol. We have now beaten the All Blacks twice in our last three meetings, We kept them Try-Less FFS. All we have to do now is Beat the USA next week beat England & Scotland in our first two 6Nations games in Feb & It's official. We'll be Ranked No.1 in The World Rankings ( ;
PS: I still love watching NZ play though. Even if we do get that Coveted No.1 spot NZ will always be the greatest Rugby Nation on the Planet but i do want Ireland on top of that pile. Come On Ireland!!!!!!!!
I can't see the USA troubling us, but I would never write of England. Scotland has been known to upset us to. We should still show the USA due respect.
We should show the USA due respect by being absolutely relentless regardless what team Joe Schmidt selects. I'm not writing England or Scotland off, It will be though but i reckon we'll do it. Nothing can stop us now ; )
Seasick Steve Fan ‘best performance by a rugby team in the last 15 years ‘’......I know you’re Irish ....I know your excited! But that is an utterly ridiculous comment. They played well, but were at home! Scored 1 try and won by 7 points and were under immense pressure for the last 20 minutes.
Last 15 years...Behave now, you won a test against the Allblacks, congrats but lets not overdo it here. As South Africa showed in both their tests, New Zealand is nowhere near the unbeatable force some make them out to be.
@@SuperEdge67 talk about down playing a loss, this was an epic battle against a team some say is not a great NZ team that is averaging 5.5 tries a game. Ireland controlled that game.from the off. Having Barnes ref didn't help Ireland's cause either, NZ were constantly disrupting play illegally, should have had a least one sin bin and never really got close to going over the line. Ireland got over the nz line at least 4 times.
You may say this was not the best game 15 years cant argue with you as i haven't seen them all but it had everything.
Who came back here in 2021 after our win?

@@munsteerarla6585 Green gone back to Dublin,red,blue and white will be going to the northern hemisphere empty handed to join yous soon 😂😂😂
I love this Game!
With All due respect, I've never seen Brodie Retallick been made to look so Ordinary, think Toner smashing him early may have put him off his game
Thesuddentornado No I think it was Rory Bests high shot to his throat. Totally unnoticed by referee and of course not noticed by Irish fans who only ever moan at other teams.
@@SuperEdge67 stop moaning 😂😂
@@SuperEdge67 Ironic isn't it... Irish fans only moan, while you continue to moan
Rohan Irish were so ungracious in defeat last time they lost to the All Blacks in Dublin blaming everyone and giving absolutely no credit to a team that outplayed them. The New Zealand media and ABs coaching staff have given the Irish a lesson on how to lose with humility in the last few days.
@@SuperEdge67 I've seen you in this comment section belittle Ireland at every opportunity. Grow up, Ireland were great.
we maybe a small country but we are legends at rugby LETS GO IRELAND
thanks man...
Was there that night behind the goal that we attacked in the 2nd half. Great view of the play that led to the try. What a night.
Everyone is supporting Ireland in Japan. It's now or never for them!
I'm not.
Beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
