New Zealand based Irish fans celebrated in style this morning, following their side's 16-9 victory over the All Blacks in Dublin.

Having only defeated the All Blacks once before in their history - coming in Chicago in 2016 - Ireland resisted a late charge to seal their first ever win over New Zealand in front of their own supporters.

Gathering at the Rocky Nook Bowling Club in Auckland, legions of Irish fans celebrated the historic victory, bellowing out victory cries into the morning sky.

The fans will almost certainly be continuing the party long into the day - or night, depending on which continent they're on.
