Well that Ireland v New Zealand game will not be forgotten any time soon. Ireland have shocked New Zealand in Dunedin.
A bizarre match finished 23-12, but Ireland dominated most of the match and would have won by more were it not for poor refereeing.
One of the interesting 'what if' elements of this game was the decision to play the second Test under the roof at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr stadium.
The weather conditions were grim and rainy in wintery Dunedin tonight, but playing with a closed roof certainly made the match easier for Ireland to approach.
Still, the ground is a fortress for the All Blacks.
The roof decision also prompted the creation of a truly memorable headline in a Kiwi newspaper. The preview came in today's Otago Daily Times. Clarewoman Lauren Guilfoyle is down in Dunedin for the game and shared a snap of today's paper on her instagram story.
The headline 'Not while you're under this roof' might have seemed sensible 12 hours ago, but in the light of Ireland's mammoth win over the All Blacks, seems slightly presumptuous.
The accompanying article, written by Jeff Cheshire, is a standard, down-the-middle match preview that posits that Ireland will struggle to contain the mighty attacking power of New Zealand in Dunedin.
Of the 46 tests the All Blacks have played in Dunedin, they have lost just five.
Since moving to Forsyth Barr Stadium in 2012, they have won all seven.
That, on top of the conditions, last week’s lop-sided result and the typically quality All Blacks line-up, makes tonight a huge task for Ireland.
All sensible points at the time of deadline, but all proven wrong by an incredible Ireland performance this morning - and a woeful showing by New Zealand.
