Ireland have defeated the All Blacks in a rugby Test series for the first time, with a dominant 32-22 victory in Wellington tonight.

We were able to get the job done, I can't put into words how I feel." It was also the All Blacks' first back-to-back home defeats in 24 years. Massive respect to Ireland, they've been class and they deserve their win tonight."

The All Blacks were properly rattled. From a seemingly unwinnable position suddenly the All Blacks closed within five points. And the tourists were just warming up. This week there were no cards for the All Blacks to blame, either. For the All Blacks, though, the numbers don't lie. This is just the seventh home series defeat in history.

It went a long way to snuffing out the All Blacks' comeback after tries to Akira Ioane and Will Jordan. A beautiful mind crunching all the player stats. The shine has well and truly been removed from the All Blacks' reputation. Because the All Blacks have now lost four of their last five tests and look to be down on confidence and, at times, ideas. The All Blacks, by comparison, were meek. Mistakes, in so many facets, and a game plan that is not working are a burden they seem unable to offload.

It’s claimed in the lineout, the drive is set up and walks over the line for Van Der Flier to flop over and open the scoring. New Zealand fitful and a little disjointed, but with enough dog in their scramble defence and pizazz in broken play or on counter to frustrate and indeed take the game. Ireland busy and creative, making enough dents up front and with territorial kicking to make the All Blacks reel a bit. Sexton spurns a kickable penalty to put the ball in the corner. Bundee Aki and Andrew Porter are both untidy at the ruck and are ruled to be off feet. Finally, the ball is out and NZ are taking narrow carries up via the forwards sticking close to the ruck. Ireland are deliberately not committing too many player to the breakdown, and they stand so far off one the All Blacks end up knocking on due to their own momentum not being stopped. This allows Keenan to put a testing kick on Jordan who takes it but is stopped dead by the chasing Hansen and on the next possession Tu’ungafasi knocks on. Possession is not very secure however and as NZ get it back David Havili punts a 50:22 and the All Blacks will have an go in the Irish 22. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later? The New Zealand response to this is to start chucking it everywhere and losing whatever limited shape they have. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later?

All Blacks leave their fightback too late against an Ireland side who have made history by displaying greater composure and attacking flair.

The Irish showed far greater composure and attacking flair to score three unanswered tries to look well on track for their historic achievement. Yet another talking point was Foster taking off his captain Sam Cane with 15 minutes remaining. Beauden Barrett appeared more alive to opportunities, with wings Will Jordan and Sevu Reece far more influential. The comeback was on. Rather than show Porter a red card for the clash of heads, however, Barnes showed Porter only a yellow. In Dunedin, prop Angus Ta’avao was red carded despite having far less time to react to his tackle on Garry Ringrose than Porter.
