In tears at Soldier Field. Speechless
Conor Murphy
Thought Tadhg Furlong was immense but Conor Murray put it up to to Aaron Smith as the best scrum-half in the world. Immaculate.

It's the first time in my life I'm not whinging after a game. Well done Ireland. That was a super game. A super super game !

Four hours ago, Aaron Smith was the best 9 in world rugby.
Four hours later, Conor Murray has changed the minds of the world.— The Loose Head (@TheLooseH) November 5, 2016

Delighted for @RoryBest2 . One of the game's great gentleman, and becoming an all-time great for #Ireland! #IREvNZL pic.twitter.com/fDfFLhT5ko

Woke up the 2 1/2 year old to tell him the score - likely the only time we'll ever beat NZ!
Delighted for the team & Joe. Should have done it a few years ago but they showed composure when it really mattered and players who have taken a lot of flack (Simon, Rob, Jamie) really showed their class today & all of them played exceptionally well.

In the morning, when your hangover asks what happened. Tell it sports. Sports happened.

That's what Irishmen (North and South) can do when they stand shoulder to shoulder. A truly epic and inspirational performance. ☘

Still buzzing from that result. I've never been more proud to be from Ireland! #COYBIG #ShoulderToShoulder #TeamOfUs #IREvNZL
— Cian Ormond (@cianormo88) November 6, 2016
I wasn't optimistic before this game. What a performance. What a team. What a win. Played 'em off the park. Absolutely fantastic performance from the Irish boys. We deserved that. On we go.....

Was in Christchurch in 2012 & Dublin in 2013 when Dan Carter broke my battered Heart. working Sunday's & stooopid time zones meant I woke up to the best score ever , & bawled. Off to wear black , eat kiwis & bask in the sunshine of a glorious victory. ( & possibly watch the game online ) so bloody proud
Brenda Lawlor
Phone ran out of juice in second half. Still speechless. What a performance. #COYBIG #ShoulderToShoulder
