Inspired Ireland claim historic win over All Blacks (Wide World of Sports)

Inspired Ireland claim historic win over undisciplined All Blacks in Dunedin.

They put us in a really good place this week, and all we had to do was go and deliver what they put together for us and we did that... At times it was like a movie, where you watch a poor soul hang on to the cliff edge by his fingertips, as the All Blacks stayed in the game. Now, a piece of advice. Somehow, despite Ireland having around 70 per cent of possession and buoyed by the sight of three All Blacks being told to take a hike by Peyper, the hosts managed to hang on. Porter scored in each half but it was his second, in the 48th minute, that had alarm bells of all shapes and sizes going off in the All Blacks camp. This was Ireland's first win in New Zealand in 117 years of trying, and they will deserve all the praise they are sure to receive in the days ahead after punishing the ill-disciplined All Blacks at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Ireland claim historic first victory in New Zealand - latest reaction (Telegraph.co.uk)

Andrew Porter twice powered over to help the impressive Irish to a deserved 23-12 victory over the indisciplined All Blacks. Captain Johnny Sexton - passed fit ...

A pull-back by Lowe leaves the referee with no choice but to give New Zealand a penalty, albeit a soft one. Ireland didn't do enough with the man advantage and it's essential that they do more in this next spell with a numerical advantage. New Zealand breathing a sigh of relief and the pressure drops. Now New Zealand are down to 13 with Tuungafasi still in the sin-bin. Aki gets Ireland into the New Zealand 22 and now they're gaining ground and getting ever closer to the try line with every off-load. The All Blacks get the ball back and instantly the momentum flips with New Zealand moving confidently up the field. The pressure doesn't look to be over but New Zealand don't roll away and Ireland have a penalty. Ardie Savea had to be sacrificed, which seemed to be a huge setback until the All Blacks rallied on the stroke of half-time. It was at this stage in the series-opener that New Zealand rallied and buried their opponents with a flurry of counter-punches. A 10-7 deficit at the end of a wild first half would have felt like a mighty fillip for New Zealand. Then the game was disrupted a bit and we missed some moments but to win in New Zealand, which no Irish team has done before, puts it all on the line for next week.” New Zealand should have been reduced to 12 as Italy had been in Dublin during the Six Nations – a huge blunder from the officials.
