After 111 years of trying, the Irish Rugby team defeated the All-Blacks of New Zealand, 40-29! In Chicago before 62,000 fans, no less!
New Zealand have long been recognized (and deservedly so) as the pinnacle of rugby power. They have been the top ranked national squad for years. Ireland lost to them 24-22 in a game they should have won a year or two back. This is a sweet victory for the men in green!
How ironic that the Cubs break their 108 year streak of futility and Ireland breaks their 111 year streak!
Congrats to the lads in green! Kudos to Johnny Sexton, Jamie Heaslip, Conor Murray and the whole crew! What a great win!
