Saturday was a momentous day for Irish rugby.

In Cape Town, Ireland - despite going down to 14 men after just 23 minutes with the contentious sending off of CJ Stander - notched up a memorable 26-20 win against South Africa. It was a first ever win for Ireland against the Springboks in South Africa.

Earlier in the day, the Irish U20s also made history. They beat New Zealand 33-24 at the World Rugby U20 Championships - a first win for an Irish men's side at any level against New Zealand.

It was a thrilling game. New Zealand led 14-6 after 26 minutes. Five minutes before half time, Ireland took the lead. It was an advantage they would not relinquish.
