An authentic feat for the XV of Clover. Ireland signed the first victory in its history in New Zealand (12-23), Saturday July 9 in Dunedin. Andy Farrell’s players reacted in the best possible way, seven days after their disappointment with these same All Blacks (42-19).

Reduced to 14 in the 31st minute, territorially dominated in the first period then disorganized in the second, the double world champions suffered the game of the Irish. The two selections will meet next Saturday, for a “beautiful” in Wellington.

Johnny Sexton, impeccable against the poles (100% success in five attempts), will be able to celebrate his 37th birthday on Monday with the certainty of duty accomplished. A week after suffering a concussion, the Leinster fly-half guided his teammates to this historic performance.
