When was the last time NZ played and didn't score a try?

1995 against a northern hemisphere team

Those last 10 minutes were incredible. What a result. What a team. What a match. It was sensational. I didn't get to see Ireland vs NZ in Chicago in 2016. Although I have that match on DVD at home; I haven't watched it yet. It's my very first time seeing Ireland win against NZ & on Irish soil. What a great f*cking day this has become for all of us. The tears are now rolling down my face with delight. Well done to Ireland. Thanks for making me happy today. You're a team of legends.

Great win for Ireland, deserved it
Rode our luck mind you
I still think New Zealand will be hard to beat next year.
Rugby is played in cycles, we always seem to bpeak quite well before a World Cup but struggle when it comes around
Long way to go yet mind you.

It's only a game there are far more important things to be passionate about.

Just to add, the post match discussion is going to be minimal. There's very little to talk about in terms of performances. 1-23 were excellent.

It's great when you consider

The injuries we had

The ruled out try

The mistakes in the line-out

Some very uncharacteristic mistakes from the All blacks today. Both Reid and Retallick made a number of handling errors.

thats the pressure form ireland, made NZ look ordinary

Loved what was said there in the interview, he played along side his best friends. I think alot of teams, players and managers need to realise, buy/selling players is all well and good, the guys need to gel with each other and have each others backs. Really like that when he said it.

That's the first time I've smiled today. I lost my mum this morning, so thank you thank you THANK YOU Ireland. Thank you for giving me a good memory of this day for years.

Your Mum is a blessed lady, Chris, a very blessed lady. I shall toast her tonight and I'll say one for you all over the coming days.

CJ Stander speaks: “It was tiring,” he says, in an accent I can’t quite place. Is he from Cork? Or one of the Standers from Kerry, perhaps? It’s difficult to tell. “But you can’t get tired with this noise behind you. We said we were going to work in this November series for the Six Nations and the World Cup.”

England hurts..........

Think the 2 we lost near the end, was that not down to the AB's just reading the call, just getting up ahead of the Irish jumper?

Fantastic result. Work rate was amazing. Our defence was so good this evening.

Last time New Zealand didn't score a try was against the lions 23 games ago according to channel4.

Then why are you posting here......

Leave us plebiscites to our win and you go off and do whatever you find is fun.

Self fellatio, perhaps.

Waiting for sky sports to claim that England made NZ tired for today's game, or something like that.

Rugby is a sport only played by a handful of nations, that is a fact.

I used to watch rugby years ago and Ireland less conditioned and fit for the hard games.
They would be worn out in the last 20 minutes but that was some match they held off NZ to the end physically.

Ohh absolutely but still they normally don’t make those mistakes. Probably Reid’s worst ever game for NZ.

The knock on after the charge down was crucial in this match.

Apart from the lions game, against an individual nation

No more excuses or sense of inferiority. It's time they deliver at a world cup

Burkie1203

Backrow was awesome. VDF will probably still be tackling the NZ players at the airport tomorrow

Toner and Ryan were just ridiculously good.

Thought Marmion did exactly what he needs to do. Just be really really good at everything.

Amazing and we can be better. Amazing.

Dont know why anyone is down about Joe leaving us.
As he explained there, it is all down to everyone else but him.
