For the second time in a week, over a century of sporting history has been overturned in Chicago... the Irish rugby team finally beating New Zealand after 111 years of trying!
Looked like their best chance had gone in 2013 when they let a lead slip late on, but this time they held on and ended the all-conquering world champions' 18-match winning run. There will be a few pints of Guinness (and Jameson's...) drunk in Dublin and Cork tonight!

Re: Ireland beat the All Blacks
Missed the first half hour but what a performance - sustained intensity and driven on by a cracking atmosphere. Well done the Irish.
