DUNEDIN, July 10 — Ireland made history on Saturday by beating the All Blacks on New Zealand soil for the first time with a 23-12 triumph in the second Test in Dunedin.
Ireland have won four of their last seven matches against the All Blacks and can secure a rare series win for any nation on New Zealand soil by winning next Saturday’s third Test in Wellington. “We didn’t give the best account of ourselves last week and the All Blacks punished us for our mistakes but they put us in a really good place.”
Sexton, cleared to play despite failing a pitchside head injury assessment at Eden Park, had a night to remember. New Zealand’s Leicester Fainga’anuku and Ofa Tuungafasi were shown yellow cards for infringements midway through the first half, before Ta’avao was sent off for a high tackle on the half-hour mark.
