?BREAKING: They’ve done it! Historic win for Ireland as they beat New Zealand in a knife edge classic




In an incredible test match, it had it all. Ireland ahead, New Zealand ahead, opportunities, tackles – it had it all.

Ireland somehow managed to hold off the All-Blacks in a very hard fought battle in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The Fields of Athenry was belted out by the crowd as the game was held on a knife edge.

With 90 seconds to go, Ireland got a penalty and that was the one that sealed the deal and got Ireland across the line, excuse the pun.

After vital turnovers and tries, New Zealand were consistently under pressure in their own 22 and Ireland kept the pressure on to win it 29-20.
