Ireland withstood an enormous second-half comeback from New Zealand to secure victory
Ireland beat the All Blacks 32-22 in the third Test to win a series in New Zealand for the first time in their history.
Andy Farrell’s side led 22-3 at half-time after first-half tries from Josh van der Flier, Hugo Keenan and Robbie Henshaw. Jordie Barrett kicked New Zealand’s only points.
The All Blacks dominated the start of the second half as prop Andrew Porter was sent to the sin-bin, to bring it back to 25-22 with a quarter to play.
Rob Herring’s close-range try settled Irish nerves and Sexton’s conversion pressed their advantage back out to 32-22 with a little over 10 minutes to play.
From that point, Ireland controlled the closing moments of the contest and as the clock went red, the tears from Peter O’Mahony on the sideline highlighted what it meant to them.
