Details: Ireland 40 New Zealand 29 The pre-match build up was different, after a minute’s applause for the memory of Anthony Foley, George Harrington performed a solo rendition of ‘Ireland’s Call’ on violin. Cue The Haka... Ireland’s players lined up in the figure of eight as a further tribute to the 62-times capped former Irish number 8. In a breath-taking upset, Ireland outscored the New Zealanders by five tries to four to seal their first win over the Kiwis in the 29th meeting between the two nations dating back to 1905. Ireland was forced to hold off a ferocious fightback which saw All Blacks recover from a 30-8 deficit to within four points, 33-29. Was Ireland going to blow it as they had done on so many times before in the last minute? Not this time, unlike previous encounters Ireland scored a decisive try in the 76th minute to effectively close out the game, Joey Carbery converted to clinch a famous victory for Ireland. Joe Schmidt’s Ireland squad of 2016 stamped their names in the annals of Irish rugby history as they dispatched New Zealand, 40-29, in Ireland’s first ever victory on their 29th attempt.
