Have to say it's a great moment in Irish Rugby history but for Johnny Sexton it's a super moment.
Captaining a series winning team to NZ is the stuff of dreams.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Mad we've gone from never beating NZ ever to beating them, to beating them in their own back yard, to winning an away test series against them. Huge.

I saw the Triple crowns in the 80s..great days 40 years ago.
Heineken cups..European Kings
Then the 2 Grand Slams..even better.
Then first win vs All Blacks..crossed the Rubicon.
But a series win in New Zealand..surely this is Irish rugby's greatest achievement?
Not many teams have reached these lofty heights.
:clap:
Well done to every member of that touring party.

Brilliant words yet again from Sexton.

This is completely unbelievable.
To beat the All Blacks in a 3 match series in their own backyard, and to do it so convincingly after the first match hammering is something that we will likely never see again on most of our life times.

It is days like today that make me so proud to be Irish.
My late father was one of the 250k in attendance when Munster beat the All Blacks, but he sadly never witnessed Ireland do it.
Now I have kids who almost expect Ireland to beat them when they play.
Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.

They weren’t hammered in the first match, you can keep trying to prove yourself right because of your terrible words at the time but we got punished in a 15 minute period but we were very good other than that and we left lots of points behind. Own your bullshit.

Incredible effort by yours truly to watch the 2nd half. Could've went to bed and hoped for the best but I stuck it out. Very proud right now.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Why do you feel the need to be so negative about the team after such a big win?

Johnny suggesting we might be having pints with our breakfast back home, is not a good look for us. It might be true but still ....... :lol:
