WATCH: This montage of Ireland’s historic win over New Zealand will get you pumped for the return

23 became 8. Stirring stuff.

The back-to back world champions are in town and they’re out for revenge, but if the historic win in Chicago proved anything, it’s that Ireland are capable of beating any team in the world.

The 111 year voodoo is finally over but Saturday’s match presents a new challenge to Joe Schmidt’s men. Can they build on this historic win and inflict another defeat on the All Blacks in front of a sold-out crowd?

Sean O’Brien is back in the side but ‘The Tullow Tank’ has has big shoes to fill because his Leinster teammate, Jordi Murphy, was just one the men that famously crossed the whitewash in Soldier Field earlier this month.

Murphy’s try was just one of five as Ireland shattered New Zealand’s 18 match unbeaten streak in Chicago.

AIG Ireland have made this stirring promo which captures the best moments from that famous day while setting the scene for the rematch.

This will get you pumped for the weekend.
