Nine years after Ireland’s historic win over New Zealand at Chicago’s Soldier Field – their first in 111 years – the two rugby powerhouses have returned to the US to square off again.

The All Blacks take on Ireland at the same ground in the heart of America, far from their traditional homes, on Sunday morning in front of a sellout crowd of 63,000 fans.

Kickoff is at 9.05am.
