It has sent the three-match Test series into a decider, with the world — and most likely — the New Zealand Rugby board watching.

New Zealand v Ireland: third and deciding rugby union Test – live! (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Who will win the series decider in Wellington? Join Lee Calvert to find out.

It’s claimed in the lineout, the drive is set up and walks over the line for Van Der Flier to flop over and open the scoring. New Zealand fitful and a little disjointed, but with enough dog in their scramble defence and pizazz in broken play or on counter to frustrate and indeed take the game. Ireland busy and creative, making enough dents up front and with territorial kicking to make the All Blacks reel a bit. Sexton spurns a kickable penalty to put the ball in the corner. Bundee Aki and Andrew Porter are both untidy at the ruck and are ruled to be off feet. Finally, the ball is out and NZ are taking narrow carries up via the forwards sticking close to the ruck. Ireland are deliberately not committing too many player to the breakdown, and they stand so far off one the All Blacks end up knocking on due to their own momentum not being stopped. This allows Keenan to put a testing kick on Jordan who takes it but is stopped dead by the chasing Hansen and on the next possession Tu’ungafasi knocks on. Possession is not very secure however and as NZ get it back David Havili punts a 50:22 and the All Blacks will have an go in the Irish 22. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later? The New Zealand response to this is to start chucking it everywhere and losing whatever limited shape they have. “This is so good” says ORMBarnes, “I had a really bad sleepless night and thought, shall I stay in bed and watch the replay later?

Ireland player ratings as history made with stunning All Blacks series ... (SportsJOE.ie)

Wellington was the setting Andy Farrell's Irish side sought to create history against the All Blacks. Here are our full Ireland player ratings.

Couldn't control a bouncing ball from a restart and his knock-on gave the ABs a scrum on the right wing. Shut down Savea on a scrum carry, near the posts. Lineout throwing was on the mark, but the Kiwis were not exactly flinging bodies in the air to contest. Safe as houses on the early lineouts. Missed an early conversion, from out wide, and was short with a kick to the corner. Grubber-kicked the ball straight to Aaron Smith, ending a promising attack. Nailed a 49-metre penalty and a touchline conversion, as he found his range. Just as Ireland may have looked to be wobbling, they won a penalty, bravely kicked for an attacking lineout and Rob Herring did the rest with a powerful score. Made a bad call, on 68 minutes, by not finding touch from a kick inside his 22. Unfortunate to give away a breakdown penalty when he lost his footing. Made two big tackles in the space of 20 seconds, on 33 minutes. When another Sexton kick, from halfway, struck the crossbar, New Zealand countered and Will Jordan scored in the corner to make it 22-25.

New Zealand 22-32 Ireland: Andy Farrell's side win third Test and ... (Sky Sports)

Ireland sensationally beat the All Blacks 32-22 in the third Test to win a series in New Zealand for the first time in their history.

"It's a very special day because we're playing against the best in the world... "We came over here with the task in hand and went for it. From there, they remained composed and calm to get over the line and produce history in Wellington. He brought in some younger lads and he's just done an amazing job. Further points from his captain's boots capped off a dream first half and as the tourists led 22-3 at the break. Savea's 44th-minute try got their scoreboard rolling for the hosts, with more to come shortly after. However, with the weight of expectation on them, they remained nervous and ill-disciplined. Bundee Aki came in for the injured Garry Ringrose as Ireland made just one change to their line-up. To come down here and do it is very, very special," Sexton said. Sam Whitelock had returned to the XV after missing the second Test due to concussion. "It's clear how much belief there is in the team and it starts with the main man [Andy Farrell]. He was brave at the start, he stuck with some older lads and got criticise. Van der Flier was instrumental on the back foot too.

Epic Ireland series win in New Zealand - Rugby World (Rugby World)

Watch all the tries as All Blacks are beaten 32-22 in an incredible match in Wellington in an epic Ireland series win in New Zealand.

And come Monday they will officially become the No 1 team in the world. Ioane knocked on, Ireland won the scrum and Joey Carbery kicked the ball off the field to end the match. From the ensuing scrum, Keenan and Caelan Doris took the ball up before Ireland shifted play in the other direction. As in Auckland and Dunedin, the Irish struck early with Josh van der Flier powering over in the fourth minute as part of a strong lineout drive. Sexton had slotted a penalty but another had ricocheted off the crossbar. Sexton’s conversion gave Ireland a ten-point lead with 15 minutes to go. His try made it 25-22 to Ireland, with the conversion missed. Their lineout was struggling, their attack couldn’t find a way through the resolute Irish defence and their discipline continued to let them down. The gap was down to just three points going into the final quarter. There were tears from New Zealand before the match as they belted out the anthem. Now they have made yet more history after sealing the series with a 32-22 victory in Wellington. Yet this is a day to celebrate all that Ireland have achieved.

All-Time Classic Sees Ireland Claim Historic First Series Win In New ... (Balls.ie)

Ireland v New Zealand in Wellington on Saturday morning was one of the biggest games in Irish rugby history. A first test defeat was followed by a historic ...

James Ryan, 6. Beauden Barrett, 9. With the game at a crucial turning point, Ireland desperately needed someone to step up with a moment of magic. The moment of the match was still to come, though. Sexton would hit the crossbar with another penalty from the half-way line moments later, and New Zealand responded almost instantly. This week's decider saw Andrew Porter escape red for a similar but subtly different offence, with Wayne Barnes opting to yellow card Porter rather than send him off. Things were to get much more difficult for Ireland at the beginning of the second half. Ireland's second try in Wellington was an example of what that second test was missing. A tactical game marked by stoppages and cards on both sides, it was lacking in free flowing rugby throughout. James Lowe, Mack Hansen and Tadhg Beirne both had big moments early on, and Jordie Barrett's poor penalty miss was a mark of how the All Blacks were struggling. It would remain five points, as Johnny Sexton failed to convert. Ireland v New Zealand in Wellington on Saturday morning was one of the biggest games in Irish rugby history.

Ireland stun the All Blacks to become just the fifth touring side to win ... (The42)

All Blacks suffer back-to-back home defeats for first time since 1998 in the deciding Test of their three-match series in Wellington.

In the context of the game, those moments were as good as a score. He touched down, Sexton kicked the conversion, and all of a sudden there were 10 points between them as we headed for the final 10 minutes. They were even able to survive Sexton hitting the bar with a penalty. Suddenly they had the play in the All Blacks’ 22 and were winning a scrum when Jordie Barrett knocked on. They were absolutely brilliant in the opening ten minutes of the second half, deservedly scoring via Ardie Savea on 43 minutes – the number eight being heavily involved in the build-up as the play moved deep into the Ireland 22. The upshot was they got the crowd onside too, chants of ‘All Blacks, All Blacks’ coming down from the stands. And all of a sudden all those pre-match doubts about Sam Whitelock’s return, the All Blacks’ ability to plot successful revenge missions, had disappeared. The scoreboard operators were working overtime. Any more of this carry-on and the All Blacks might be reduced to the status of Ireland’s bogey team. Five minutes gone; five points on the board. Their public is used to seeing their team win, especially against teams like Ireland, but after 111 years of one-sided results, the tide has turned in the last six years. Sexton converted and it was 12-3.
