Ireland had the perfect with an early penalty which was converted by Johnny Sexton and the tone of the match was set from there. Ireland were ferocious from the off with huge performances coming from CJ Stander and Conor Murray who went over the line before half time.. At the half Ireland led 30-8
Sexton converts to put Ireland 25-8 AHEAD.. What a first 35mins for Ireland..!!#IREvNZL

The second half started the way the first finished with Ireland going over early to strengthen their led but then the All Blacks showed what they were made off with 3 try in quick succession.. Ireland led 33-29 at this stage but the Ireland army pulled strength from deep down and scored another try late on with a final score of 40-29 and history was made. What a night to be IRISH ?
