Living legend and the all-time highest points scorer for Ireland, Ronana O’Gara, joined in on the celebrations. Even the Kiwi/Aussie actor, Russell Crowe showed just how stunned he was, as he took to Twitter to share his thoughts. The Telegraph reported that “with nearly one in five New Zealanders also claiming Irish ancestry, this time the usual despondency was replaced by a feeling that if any team deserved to beat the All Blacks, it was Ireland”. Jamie Wall, of Radio NZ said: “The All Blacks were ripe for an ambush. Nobody gave them [Ireland] a chance. Some were already plotting how the All Blacks would end up with an even more gigantic win streak by predicting it would last deep into next season.” It remains to be seen which New Zealand side turns up for their rematch this weekend.Cannot believe that just happened .. congratulations Ireland . What a performance! Been a long time coming . ☘️☘️☘️
