  • Unbeatable: 2013 was a stunning year for the All Blacks.

    Ryan Crotty’s injury-time try for the All Blacks helped them to a 24-22 victory over Ireland in Dublin and a 100 per cent 2013 winning record for the world champions.

    It was a tough defeat to take for the hosts given they had led 22-17 but Crotty’s last-ditch try and then Aaron Cruden’s conversion (which came at the second attempt) sealed the win for the visitors.

    Was Steve Hansen’s class of 2013 the best-ever?
