Bad day for New Zealand rugby.
After the crushing defeat of the Black Ferns, world champions, against the French (38-13), the men also cracked in Ireland (29-20).
What you must remember
After an epic match, the Irish achieved the feat against the legendary All Blacks in Dublin.
Not rewarded for their formidable commitment in the first period, they veered behind at the break (5-10), after only one try scored by Lowe (14th).
Twice, at the start of the second act, they returned to the opposing goal, thanks to Kelleher (44th) and Doris (51st).
FULL TIME at the AVIVA!
Ireland have done it again! #TeamOfUs |

Despite a scare late in the game with a try denied to the All Blacks for a forward just over ten minutes from the end, when the score was only 23-17, the Irish held on, before two Carbery's penalties at the very end of the game do not release them.
This is the third time in its history that the XV du Trèfle has won this prestigious victory against the All Blacks.
The Blues, who welcome the New Zealanders next Saturday, are warned: facing a revengeful team, they too will have to achieve the feat.
The number: 3
This is only the third time that the All Blacks and Black Ferns have lost on the same day.
The last time, three years ago, it was already against the Bleues and the XV du Trèfle.
3 - This is just the third time the All Blacks and the Black Ferns have lost on the same day:
01/12/2012 (both v England)
17/11/2018 (Black Ferns v France, All Blacks v Ireland)
13 / 11/2021 (Black Ferns v France, All Blacks v Ireland).
Repeat.
