I really want to see the game! It sounds like it was really top class rugby, which I've come to expect from Ireland despite the epic losing streak.
The New Zealand comeback was quite terrifying as an Irish fan. One minute we had a really comfortable lead, and then Johnny Sexton made a tactical mistake, the momentum shifted, and New Zealand are running in tries as easy as you like.
The fact that Ireland were able to regain their composure and hold out for the win is amazing to me, especially considering how often before we've run them close, but inevitably fallen at the end. To be finishing the stronger was weird.
There'll be plenty of celebrating in Chicago tonight, you can be sure of that.
