Ireland set down a huge marker on Saturday evening when they beat New Zealand for the first time ever on home soil. The victory – capped by a Jacob Stockdale try in the second half – came after 113 years of trying and two years after the historic first win in Chicago. As expected, Twitter got pretty excited.

Chicago felt surreal, unbelievable. This felt real and believable.

Noisiest I’ve ever heard Lansdowne Road. Fantastic, gutsy, & fully deserved win, epitomised by the warrior that is Peter O’Mahony. Makes up for the robbbery in 2013. #IREvNZL
