Well, it had to happen I spose,
But in my actual lifetime? Really.
18 just does not seem enough , but my god-men just looked lethargic and disinterested.
Poor ole B O'Driscoll had a go for 15 years and didn't get it, now, after 112, they have,

My subdued congratulations to the Ireland Rugby team , and I deeply believe they are worthy of the honour of knocking us off.
At least it was not one of the usual protagonists, that would be insufferable .

The sole projection of greatness beyond our borders & we lose........

Sigggggghh........ ........

Are you forgetting Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme? Sadly all passed away but not the only projection of greatness beyond the borders.

If only it was just a game & not something far more important ......

Sorry (but not very! :D ) to hear Herman, on the plus side it wasn't the Ozzies!

Amazing to think that the team with the record for the longest wining streak in test rugby history are also the first All Black side to ever lose to Ireland.

At least you're not that bloke who had $100,000 on the AB's to go undefeated this year.
