Great win, some confidence boost. A big year ahead to be managed

Amazing stuff. It reminds me of when Cavan beat Tyrone in the McKenna Cup earlier this year and proclaimed ourselves favourites for Sam.

Stunning Irish performance. Didn't collapse when the ABs hit their purple patch or when Porter was in the bin.

The defence the final quarter was exceptional. I thought Ardie Savea might win it for the ABs by himself the way he was playing (and you could see how much they missed him last week) but Beirne put in a shift to match him.

From start to finish there was a belief that they could actually win that series

Great win, but unfortunately it looks as if yet again we've peaked a year before the World Cup. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Winning a series in New Zealand is an achievement in itself, fair play to them. I wouldn't get carried away though in terms of the WC, you could clearly see NZ ability in that second half, they peak in WC years and will put that type of performance in for 80 minutes when it really counts.

Great result, hopefully more to come

Wouldn't get carried away,!! this is Irish Rugby man. Already been declared the greatest 1st half of rugby by any irish rugby team all over social media. Never learn.

A day I thought I would never see. Ireland winning a test series in New Zealand against the all blacks.

Have no interest in irish rugby and find it mostly an irrelevance. However it does amuse me to check in here to see the hype and how desperate some are to cling to some "historic" win which means absolutely zero in terms of winning of silverware. Its very funny.
