AN emotional Peter O'Mahony was reduced to tears as Ireland recorded a historic series win in New Zealand.
Ireland ran out 32-22 winners over the All Blacks to secure their first ever series win in New Zealand.
And Munster star O'Mahony was overcome with emotion in the dying moments as the clock ran out on the historic victory.
Afterwards he told Sky Sports: "It's hard to put into words really, that says a lot behind me.
"It's never been done before to win here, to get a series win probably wasn't something you thought about as a young fella.
"But now the young fellas at home will be dreaming of playing for Ireland and winning over here.
"It'll have been done before and it'll never be the task that it was, but it will never be taken away from that group that they were the first ones to do it. Not only to win once but win a series here.
"We always believe we can win, we know the work we put in, it's an honest group of people. An incredible group of people.
"We're all very lucky to have incredible backing from our families at home, we're all good friends, our coaches. These days are made by groups of people.
"The people you have in the background, not just here but at home as well. It means a huge amount for us and a huge amount for them.
