Speed and finess combined with power and fierce tackling. A great example of why endurance games -- hockey, rugby, lacrosse and soccer -- rule. Two teams that would not be denied -- a great Irish start, a fierce All Blacks comeback, two spectacular plays and stout defense to seal the win. An epic event for the Irish -- an even longer wait than the Cubs.
This was a 1-time event, a great game and a sold-out stadium!
The best match I've ever witnessed. Great crowd, great weather....the Craic was stupendous!
I came in from Texas to see this match. It was an amazing experience and I hope this event continues. I am a casual fan of rugby and don't understand all of the rules, but I still had a blast.
Match was great weather fantastic and overall experience was out of this world
The result of the match shouldn't drive whether or not I'd attend again-- and it doesn't-- but this was an incredible experience and I am so glad to have been there. My two favorite teams it would've been a good time regardless of the result. Wish we'd had more information about what types of bags/items could be brought into the venue. There was a lot of confusion given that this is an NFL venue that handbags couldn't be brought in, but then they were allowed. it would've been nice not to carry everything in my pockets. Next time please inform us better of what can be taken into the stadium-- and what can't.
Amazing day of top level rugby. The event was very well organized. Great fan zone with lots of free activities. American style tailgate was a perk of rugby in an NFL stadium
What a fabulous day!! Great weather, great seats and the best of all, an Ireland win!!!
Great venue, easy to navigate, prices are bit high, but normal for a stadium.
This is the level of Rugby that will bring new fans to the sport. Thank you to the organizers for bringing such an epic match to our shores. Unlike a friendly in soccer these guys wanted to win and played their hearts out. Truly the best Rugby match I have ever seen. The skill the hitting the execution were all there.
Awesome event!!! Perfect weather, stadium and capacity crowd. We were treated to history being made when Ireland put 111 years behind them to sel a fully deserved win 40-29 (and I am a lifelong All Black fan). Great atomsphere with everyone enjoying the game and good company.
The match was amazing, venue had some drawbacks. Had to wait a long time in line, for security screening before entry - not good, missed the Hakka. Security & Stewards need to relax, rugby crowds are different & don't need the regimented approach that other spectators may need for other sports.
This game was awesome from start to finish. We sat way up high in section 400 but were still able to see the game (both on field and on plasmas). The crowd never got out of hand and the entrance/exit of the stadium was busy, but smooth. All around - great experience. I will definitely be back for another event soon!
It was the most amazing event sports or music wise that I've ever attended, I was there with my wife and two children and some great friends, to have been there and experience this slice of history with my family is a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life!!!
The atmosphere was great. Only negative was the lack of stewards to guide people into the stadium and the queues for beer
Best game I've ever been to. Classic game. So intense. Great for Rugby as a whole. (And I'm an All Blacks fan). Congrats to Ireland.
Amazing game! If you are not a rugby fan you are missing out! This game was everything that any rugby fan could have wanted. Not the result I wanted but the better team that day won and that is a good thing. When are we doing this again boys!
As American fans of Irish rugby, it was a great opportunity for my family to see the national Irish rugby team play live. The result was beyond our wildest hopes, Ireland beat the All Blacks for the first time in a 111 year history; this in the same city in which the Cubs broke their 108 year jinx to win the World Series. Rugby fans are absolutely the most cordial, friendly fans I have ever encountered and Chicago was a great town to host this event. Final score: Ireland 40, New Zealand 29.
Having travelled from Ireland for this fixture, I must say Chicago put on the weather for us. They even won the world series for our arrival. The event itself was well hosted and historic in that Ireland defeated the AB's for the first time. Being there to witness that is truly amazing.
The traffic getting here was awful. Allow at least twice the time that you might think. We could have walked there more quickly! Unfortunately we missed the haka and the start of the game. Also unfortunately the All Blacks did not play their best. Kudos to the Irish for breaking their 111 year streak and taking the game!
