Conor Murray, the performance of a lifetime.
Sexton was superb.
Henshaw, after Murray, was the star performer.

Spare a thought for O'Connell, O'Driscoll and O'Gara; long and sucessful careers but they never managed this. Joey Carbury though, on his first cap, plays against and beats the All Blacks.

It was amazing. I was pretty well on when I wrote those posts above too.

Can't remember a performance by Ireland where so few errors were made. Little if any knock-ons, forward passes. Good line-out, great scrum and mauls. It was like watching the All Blacks!
 
if you had said after the Argentina World Cup game that we'd beat the All Blacks without O'Connell, Earls, Bowe, O'Brien, O'Mahony or Ross and Cian Healy on the bench and Sexton's back up would be a youngster playing in the AIL at that time you'd have been locked up

Happy days

Don't forget Ian Henderson, possibly our best player in the pack.
