This video, shot in the dressing room immediately after the game, shows just how much New Zealand had to put into that game to win.
Heading for 24 hours later and the pain of losing in injury time to New Zealand still lingers for every Irish rugby fan.

The video features a lot of very knackered, and very relived, rugby players all of whom know they were very fortunate to escape Aviva with a win.
Including the likes of Aaron Cruden to Richie McCaw, they pay Ireland lots of compliments and the mantra of ‘belief’ comes up again and again.
Sigh… and who knew the All Blacks favourite song is UB40’s Red, Red Wine?
