Andrew Porter solidified his status as one of the most beloved men in Irish rugby with a stunning two try performance against the All Blacks in Ireland's historic win over New Zealand at Dunedin this morning.
The Leinster star got Ireland off to a perfect start after just three minutes when he barrelled his way over the line. The 26-year-old then got on the end of a flowing team move to put Ireland further ahead in the second half.
Naturally, Sky Sports were eager to get the man of the moment on screen for an interview. Porter was TV gold as always, with the prop unable to contain his joy at what had just unfolded.
