What we thought was impossible, has FINALLY happened.
Ireland have beaten the All Blacks in one of the most tense international rugby games in history.
Most people refused to get their hopes up as Ireland scored more and more tries, but as things started to look bad for the boys in green, Robbie Henshaw brought us back to triumph.
There will be some serious celebrating all over the country tonight, as well as in Ireland’s second home of Chicago – where the match took place.
Take a look at the best tweets during and after the match we’ll never forget:
111 years, forgotten in 80 minutes. #IREvNZL

There won’t be a cow milked in Chicago tonight, primarily because Chicago has not had agrarian farmland in over 300 years. #IREvNZL

This is fucking incredible, The All Blacks are, to paraphrase Paul O’Connell, standing back thinking what the fuck is going on? #IREvNZL
