@ McLook:
Howzit McLook can’t watch is it a good game is there a big crowd there?
Long injury break. Bizarre injury. Ran up in defence and fell over. Lower leg heavily strapped. Look like a Tibfib fracture not ACL.

Ireland got the possesion now. Kick through. Noholo knock on.
Not Ireland 9 who got injured. Was Joe Murphy.
Ireland controling the game.
@ McLook:
That’s good man hopefully the All Blacks will shift up a gear and win in the end. The vibe in Chicago is big at the moment with the Cubs winning the baseball for the first time in a long long time
Another Ireland try. Conner Murray. Dummy pass after picking up at ruck and break through to score.
Easy conversion Over. 25-8. NZ in real trouble now.
