Sharing the video on Twitter, one fan wrote: "I think it's fair to say Peter O'Mahony is enjoying his night! Well deserved!"

A group of Irish fans were singing on the busy Wellington street, with O'Mahony joining in a rendition of Ole Ole Ole.

It was an emotional day for everyone involved with Irish Rugby, with the series win coming just seven days after Ireland defeated the All Blacks in New Zealand for the first ever time.

O'Mahony fought back tears at the final whistle before giving a powerful post-match interview.

He told Sky Sports NZ: "That [crowd noise] says a lot, behind me. You know, it's never been done before - to win here, to get a series win. It probably wasn't something you thought about, as a youngfella. But now, there will be youngfellas at home who will dreaming of playing for Ireland and winning over here.

"It will have been done before. It won't be the task that it was. It will never been taken away from that group. That they are the first to do it. Not only one win, but to win a series here."

He added: "We always believe we can win. We know the work we put in. It's an honest group of people. An incredible group, at that.

"We're all very lucky to have incredible backing at home, from our families and those that aren't here. We're all good friends. Our coaches, too. These days are made by groups of people. Not just here but in the background, and folks at home as well. It means a huge amount to us, and them."

"As I said, for the kids at home, a new path has been made for them."
