All four British Isles rugby teams win away against the Southern Hemisphere for the first time ever

[Tooting Carmen]

Ireland won away against New Zealand for the first time, winning 23-12. Wales won away against South Africa for the first time, winning 13-12. Furthermore, Australia lost to England 17-25 and Argentina lost to Scotland 9-28. The fact that all four Southern Hemisphere teams lost at home on the same day for the first time ever is truly a momentous occasion.

Ireland beating the Kiwis on home soil is brilliant. The All Blacks are the most legendary rugby team so this is a real milestone. South Africa are also a very good team. Unfortunately Australia has been going downhill for a while. They were great a decade ago.

In regular test matches though, almost like getting excited about friendly wins in football.

I'm no sports fan nor do I follow rugby, but every dog has its day. This was Ireland's turn. Supposedly, it took them 117 years to get this win?

On Kiwi soil yes but they have slowly been getting the upper hand on the All Blacks over the last few years. All Blacks are still the premier team in rugby but they aren't as invincible as they once were.

Maybe. I don’t believe the All Blacks believe themselves invincible. I can understand this might be how teams that lose usually might see it that way. The media can over exaggerate the wins but they’re also brutal with losses.

I read they were calling for changes to team management over one loss.

They have been pretty invincible for a long time. They are a legendary team and everyone wants to see them play no matter what team you follow. They'll no doubt bounce back and will be on top more times than not. This is a big deal to Ireland though. They will be flying high with this win.

[frankhammer]

If they can win again in the next test, good for them. I’m pretty sure the ab’s will be drilled for the lack of discipline seems one player was yellow carded and another red carded. That’s how players lose their place in the ab’s.

If the Australian soccer team beat Brazil or Germany, wouldn't people celebrate regardless of whether it was a friendly or part of a World Cup?
