That was simply breath-taking.
Even for the neutrals, even for those who don’t watch ruby often, Ireland’s 40-29 win over New Zealand in Soldier Field, Chicago was something to cheer for.
The win ended a wait that has lasted for over a century and brought tears to the eyes of those who have waited their whole lives to see Ireland beat the Kiwis.
New Zealand had staged a fierce fightback in the second-half but after Robbie Henshaw’s late try, the writing was on the wall and Ireland had made history. You can relive the moment that Ireland toppled the All-Blacks over and over by checking out the video below.
