IRELAND MADE HISTORY at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday night, scoring their first-ever win over the All Blacks on home soil with a stunning display.

There were heroes all over the pitch as Jacob Stockdale scored a crucial try to propel Joe Schmidt’s charges to a 16-9 result.

The back row of Peter O’Mahony, Josh van der Flier and CJ Stander were superb throughout, while Johnny Sexton kicked two penalties along with a conversion for Stockdale’s try.

Rob Kearney — who also impressed — looked to have scored a try as well but his effort was ruled out for a knock-on over the line.

The All Blacks were relentless in applying pressure late in the game, but Ireland held their nerve to clinch the victory.

Take a look at some of the best pictures from this historic occasion.
