Ireland beat All Blacks for the first time in history. 40-29

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

For the very first time, in the entire history of rugby, Ireland have at long last beaten the mighty All Blacks. A great day for Ireland, and a good day to visit an Irish pub and share the celebrations. :hattip:

Ireland clinch first ever win over New Zealand to end All Blacks’ record streak
• Ireland 40-29 New Zealand
• Henshaw’s late try seals Ireland’s first win in 111 years against All Blacks

In a week where the Chicago Cubs finally put the curse of the Billy Goat to bed, there was no shortage of people here who thought Ireland were about to do something similar with the monkey on their back. In Ireland’s case that creature is all black, for New Zealand are the only team they had played but never beaten. This confidence was based not on anything as tangible as form, rather on the unique atmosphere that has gripped this city since the Cubs’ World Series win on Wednesday night. The question was not why, but why not?

Those Irish should undergo a drug test. I bet they still have that drug called alcohol in their system.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

The only other Irish team to beat the All Blacks was Munster on 31st October, 1978. The score was 12-0.

This Saturday, 12 Nov. NZ Maori play Munster; great stuff.

What's the difference between a competitive rugby "test match" and meaningless "exhibition"?

Great showing by the Irish, they played their hearts out and deserved the win.

Good for the ABs to have a shake up and not seem invincible as well.
