The irish rugby team, winners of the european cup ended the year unbeaten in there last match in 2009 against the world champions South Africa.It was a sublime match forJonathan Sexton's second game for Ireland scoring all of Ireland's points in a 15-10 win.
This was Jonathans second match for Ireland taking over the veteran Ronan O'Gara's, he landed five of the six penalties given to Ireland to South Africa's Try by Schalk Burger and penalty.
The South African's, who won the Tri-nations cup, which is a competition between New Zeland, Australia and South Africa, missed three kicks and made lots of handling errors during the match, they substituted there kicker and brought out Pienar, one of there best kickers, but he missed aswell.
But today was a day for the irish, Sexton landed early penalties which put Ireland in front early in the match, his great kicking is what helped Ireland to surpres the world champions.
