It was a moment that sent the entire stadium up in screams and pubs across Ireland shaking as fans jumped up and down in pure ecstasy after realising that Johnny Sexton had just saved Ireland's chances at winning the Grand Slam in the Six Nations.
With the clock in the red and a fair 45 metres out from the goal, Sexton drop kicked the ball with the kind of determination that proves why he'll always be one of the nation's rugby sweethearts.
What. A. Man.
And naturally... Twitter went absolutely wild. Here's the best - and funniest - reactions.
