Ireland have beaten the All Blacks to win a series in New Zealand for the first time.

Andy Farrell's side have won the final test by 32 points to 22 in Wellington.

Tries by Josh van der Flier, Hugo Keenan and Robbie Henshaw helped Ireland into a 22-3 lead at half time.

The Irish were 19 points to the good at the break - almost unbelievably that was New Zealand's biggest half-time deficit in 119 years of Test rugby.

Johnny Sexton made two penalties and three conversions over the course of the game.

Ireland did lose the first game of the series, but delivered a superb response to take the overall glory.
