Don't want to focus on individuals in what was a incredible team performance but...
Murray was exceptional, simply brilliant.
Zebo has showed a lot of improvement this year and he was outstanding last night, what a catch.
Sexton's kicks to touch were humungous
Henshaw and Payne rock solid.
Carberry, I mean, who is this kid?
Farrell, our defence was world class, what an aquisition.
Rory, take a bow, remember the last time we played them and he broke his arm but he still hit a few rucks before being taken off? legend. He's bled in vain for Ulster but now he is an immortal, the first man to captain Ireland to victory over the ABs, before the game they were calling them the greatest team of all time.
12 Leinster guys on the pitch last night, I feel giddy.
Nov. 5th 2016, Ireland-Leinster-Leeds Utd, what a day!
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

+1- including Leeds. If the world does end with the final Trump on Wednesday at least we had this Saturday.

Carbery is a feckin freak.
Almost the first thing the guy did on his international debut with 20 mins to go against the All Blacks was put in a ROG esque kick behind Savea that bounced out.
His experiences over the last month will stand to him.

A wonderful display..
Was listening to Paul Grayson commentary, said Zebo looked like he fell from about 10 stories making that catch!
Great to see R Kearney back to playing his best.
Wonderful attacking and defensive display using pretty much all areas of the game.
NZ had a bit of an off day, but with O'Brien and O'Mahony back and pushing hard for selection, Dublin seems possible..

Internet wasn't working in the house this morning and just for a second in the misty mindedness that comes from having too many libations I honestly thought it was all a dream but what a dream.....

Absolutely vamazing result, and one that I like many, did not see coming. This is a time I am so happy to have been proven very wrong.

That Irish display was just like the Munster display v Glasgow.
They played as a unit, for each other and with each other. When the made hits the got back on their feet looking for more work.

Stander said that at around 60 mins he felt very tired, but was spurred on by Axel.
Very fitting that that result is a role reversal of when Axel played against the all blacks, same score line but the other way around.

With Jackson, pom, earls and sob to return, we will have a stronger squad for the next game.
Can we beat them 2 in a row? Well anything is possible.

Finally Munster and Ireland can claim to have beaten the mighty all blacks.
Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.

Actually this is a first. All Blacks beaten in a proper test match.
Alone it stands, for 2 weeks anyway.

That was an Ireland test match.
Cop on and grow up.

I never once compared the teams.

What a bitter little poster.

You're probably right about pom earls and sob making a return for the Canada game.
After that can't see it tbh.
Who would you drop to bring sob and pom in.
Ditto earls.
BTW Munster and Glasgow are club teams not international teams.

Jordie is out for the next all blacks game, so either of sob or pom will be on the bench at least.

Earls will probably come in for ringrose on the bench.

I am aware of the level that Munster and Glasgow play at, and I thought it was clear that I was referring to work rate, passion and intensity of the games rather than the level.

I think it will depend on how they all go against Canada. If SOB and POM are fully fit and have good games it will be a very tough call. I can see Ringrose starting at 13 in with Earls on the wing and if they both go well that is another tough call. I only really see Earls as a wing which would be a problem for him being included but Joe seems to think he can cover other positions and who am I to argue.

I wonder if Jackson will be back and if not who gets called in with Joey for 10 cover.

Madser is free but out injured for a month. Keatley?

Keatley probably more likely than Steenson (anyone know how he is going at the moment). I am sure I have missed a few names but the next level down is getting close to academy level.
