In my few years, it's one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed. Nearly broke me telly when Bowe intercepted that pass.

Front row, paulie, SOB, Ferris, ROG take a bow. Fantastic stuff. You are a credit to your country.

Man after watching Aus v Ita and the Trinations and Ireland for the last few months, I thought Ireland to win at 5/1 was way too low, should have been 20/1! Anything can happen when you want it bad enough.

Never ever so happy to be completly wrong in my prediction of the game... Unbelievable performance by the Irish Scum.... Unbelievable result!!

stephen_n · 17-09-2011 11:25am

You have got to love a game when form previous performances and everything else goes out the window once the whistle goes to start a game. Will the real Ireland team please stand up well they sure as hell did today to a man! Now to go down and slag my dad who has laughed at my suggestion for the last year that we could turn the Aussies over!

Sex,Alcohol, fags, drugs, caffeine , chocolate fook them all.

Nothing, absolutely nothing compares to the feeling winning as an absolute out an out underdog.

Epic from all involved.... What a win.

Proud as fook.

In tears here.

I've been watching rugby thirty years and i've never seen a performance as immense as that.

Each and every man on that field deserves a Medal of Honor.

Soldiers of fortune, the victory belongs to the brave and the faithful, each and every irish man and woman.

I'm off to the pub.
Beers to be had.
Tears to be shed.
Flights to be booked to Auckland for October 23rd.
May each and every one of you cherish and savour this victory, for when it's all said and done, it's not the number of breaths we take, but the number of moments that take our breath away.

Lig amach do Laoch istigh.
