"The madness, happiness, chaos, joy, fear of being at a huge rugby game with your friends or family... hopefully we capture even an ounce of what it was like to be in Chicago that day." Little Soldier Field piece ahead of our tour @siamsatire @dlrMillTheatre & @UCHLimerick ๐๐

Tadhg Beirne's red card rescinded ๐ฅโ๏ธ As I stated at the time, yellow would have covered it. Real shame that he had to miss the rest of that game as he's one of Ireland's bonafide world-class players and would've had a big part to say in how Saturday's game played out ๐

Despite the result (and Ireland falling off from minutes 61 to 80), really enjoyed catching up with @martindevlinnz for a dive back into IRE vs NZ at Soldier Field Helped toss some lighter fluid on the Kiwi's own No.10 jersey debate, while I was there๐

An incredible journey with Soldier Field comes to an end (for now!) Life-long memories, great laughs & soaring moments. Such a pleasure to know these folks, and to grace the fine stages, in front of finer crowds, @siamsatire @dlrMillTheatre + @UCHLimerick ๐ญโฅ๏ธ

Looking back on all the lineouts from Saturday's match. ABs used current loophole here - in the lead-up to Savea's try - where they don't have to throw straight as opposition are not contesting โก๏ธ 33 seconds later, Savea was scoring in the right-hand corner

Beauden Barrett said he was gutted for Tadhg Beirne, after New Zealand's win, last night ๐ฅ Beirne was a good shout in the World Rugby Player of the Year runnings coming into the final window. Might be a lid on it, now Was badly missed. May be off to tackle school, next

Beauden Barrett didn't think it was a red and has offered to help Tadgh Beirne get off any suspension ๐ณ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ

So bloody frustrating watching that match. Players clearly gassing out in the final quarter Chasing the ๐ฐ and woefully underdone Whatever edge we had over the ABs is up in black smoke

Ireland undercooked and fading in the final 20 minutes Better team for the first hour but.... (feels like we're back in the 90s) Who could've guessed it ๐ก

Jamie Osborne and Jack Conan both bleedin' brilliant in that first half. Furlong vintage stuff ๐ Great to see Doris going steamroller on his first involvement Amazed more teams don't target our lineout. It's been a shambles for 3+ years

Red card call very harsh - watched at full speed it was fairly innocuous Felt yellow would have sufficed No malicious intent. Was set too high and braced himself. Just really unfortunate and Ireland will need to do something epic here

"The last time these two sides came up against each other at Soldier Field, someone wrote a play about it" Cheers for the shout-out @rugbyontnt @tntsports ๐
