All Blacks v Ireland: Social media erupts after Ireland's history-making win over New Zealand

Social media has erupted, after Ireland secured their first series victory over the All Blacks, winning the deciding test 32-22 at Wellington's Sky Stadium.

Ireland is just the third nation to win a three-test series on New Zealand soil, and whether the news had you jumping off your seat or hiding under a rock, there's no doubt it has people talking.

Ireland posted behind-the-scene footage of their locker room celebrations following the win.

The All Blacks posted a short and sweet "congratulations" to the team.

Former rugby players from both teams took to social media to congratulate the Irish rugby team.

Ex-All Black Sonny Bill Williams applauded Ireland's performance in the game.

Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll posted his praise for the team's win, after claiming a series win over the All Blacks was a greater achievement than a spot in the World Cup semi-finals.

Ireland supporters flooded Twitter, rubbing in the much-deserved win, as they claimed "green is the new black".

The win left some Kiwis feeling bitter, with many saying it was time for All Blacks coach Ian Foster to pass the ball onto someone else.

The recent defeat means the All Blacks have lost four of their last five test matches and have sunk to their lowest-ever world ranking of fourth.

And while we may not have beaten Ireland in rugby, at least the Blackcaps were successful, securing a clean sweep against the Irish on Saturday - barely.
