Johnny Sexton on the Irish win over the All Blacks in New Zealand

Ireland break 117 year old record as they bag a win in New Zealand over New Zealand, their first. Johnny Sexton, who was in doubt for the match, spoke after and clearly layed down a marker for next weeks series decider.

"The game was disrupted a bit. We missed some moments. But, look, unbelievably happy with the win. To come here and get the win, no other Irish team has done it before so, delighted. It's all on the line now, next week."

"We've got a fantastic coaching team. They've got us well up for the game. we felt that we didn't give the best account of ourselves, last week, and the All Blacks obviously punished us for our mistakes. But they put us in a really good place for this week. All we had to do was go and deliver what they put together for us, and we did that."

"The times you do sit back, they punish you. They've got some outstanding players. Very well coached, and they're the best team in the world for a reason. We're just absolutely delighted to get the win."

"I think 14 against 14 at the start of the second half," Sexton added, "to score a try [then] was huge. Then we knew we'd be playing against 14 men for the rest of the game. We are delighted with the win but, as I said, we have a chance to win a series here, and they don't come along too often. So, let's build for next week."
