WATCH: Drink in Ireland’s historic victory over the All-Blacks with some brilliant behind the scenes footage

Conor Heneghan

Spine-tingling.

It wasn’t a dream, right?

Ireland did beat the All-Blacks for the first time ever in Chicago on Saturday night in what was one of the most incredible displays ever given by a team in green. That did happen, didn’t it?

Of course it did, with this Robbie Henshaw try helping to seal a momentous 40-29 victory and these pictures featuring Ronan O’Gara and Dan Carter, Paul O’Connell and Dougie Howlett and Brian O’Driscoll helping to sum up what a magnificent achievement it was.

If you, like the rest of us, are still on a high two days after the game, then you’ll savour some brilliant behind the scenes footage released by Irish Rugby TV of events in Chicago on Saturday.

The mood in the dressing room before the game, the brilliant tribute to Anthony Foley and the reaction of the players, management and fans are all captured in five and a half minutes’ worth of footage that will give you goosebumps.

It’s perfectly acceptable to keep watching this for the rest of the week, right?
