After the Irish rugby team helped themselves to a historic series win over the All Blacks last night, centre Bundee Aki helped himself to a fan's fried chicken while celebrating on the streets of Wellington.
Ireland triumphed 32-22 over the All Blacks, becoming the fifth touring side ever to achievea series win over the All Blacks at home - but the first since 1994.

Both sets of fans took to the streets of the capital after the New Zealand side's loss at Sky Stadium. At least two Irish players - Aki and Peter O'Mahony - joined in the revelry.

O'Mahony was tearful on the pitch following his win, but the tears dried as he spoke to Wellington police and partied arm-in-arm with Aki in videos supplied to the Herald.
Auckland-born Aki, who played for Counties Manukau before his move to Ireland, plucked a piece of fried chicken out of a fan's dinner box before running away giggling.
Police said that three people were trespassed from the stadium for invading the pitch but in general, they were pleased with the behaviour in the capital last night in spite of the 35,000 fans crowding the streets.
"We can say in general that we were pleased with the behaviour in town following last night's match and there were no major issues."
