They did it.
God knows how they did it but they did it. So drink it in.
Ireland have beaten the All Blacks in Chicago.
And this is how it happened.
It started with a penalty via the boot of Johnny Sexton.

The next score led many to believe that the floodgates were about to open up.

But then Ireland touched down for a try of their very own and proved, at the very least, that they belonged in the game.

Penalties were exchanged but then, all of a fucking sudden, Murray broke the New Zealand line and got it down and that's the way the scoreboard stayed until the break.

After getting a much-needed breather, it was expected that New Zealand would come out all guns blazing but, in fact, it was none other than Simon Zebo who got the first score of the second half.

80 minutes of absolute war left bodies battered, muscles aching and jerseys blood-caked but they had done it.
Ireland beat the All Blacks.
And nobody could quite believe it.
