The IRISH RUGBY thread

It's like playing Kilkenny

[Tony Baloney]

I've only seen the second half but the All Black's passing and handling is horrible. And they're still only a try away from a win.

Get in!

21:59
Try! (Henshaw 76) Ireland 38-New Zealand 29
77 mins: WOOOWWWWWWWWSSSEEEERRRRS!!!!! Heaslip breaks from the back of the scrum, runs the switch with Henshaw who forces his way over. Jesus wept!

Up Connacht

78 mins: New Zealand have the ball but it keeps going to ground. They're rattled and there is going to be no way back from this. New Zealand knock it on, give away the penalty and Ireland will cruise to victory – a first ever victory against the All Blacks in 111 years of trying.

[Boycey]

Great stuff... would it be too picky to wish this had happened in Dublin?

[seafoid]

29 attempts

[seafoid]

80 mins: Carbery misses the penalty but it is not going to matter. Henshaw almost pounces on a loose ball for another try but it's a knock-on and a New Zealand scrum. There are seconds to go, the clock is red ... it's an Ireland penalty! And that's the full-time whistle!

[heganboy]

Long time waiting to see that

[Dougal Maguire]

Yesssss

[gallsman]

Unbelievable!

[Harold Disgracey]

Magnificent!

Massive win, made up for 3 years ago. Hard to believe its a first time

Aye and against McCaw's All Blacks. It wouldn't be normal if the win wasn't taken begrudgingly.

Brilliant stuff in the last quarter. That's a  big fckin monkey  finally shoved off the back.
There's hope for Mayo in 2017.
