Ireland’s Tommy Bowe and Ryan Crotty of New Zealand were in Chicago earlier this year to promote the match:
The last time the All Blacks took to the pitch in the United States, a record crowd of over 61,500 filled Soldier Field on November 1, 2014, in what was unquestionably the biggest single rugby event in the history of the United States.
Ireland then return to the Aviva Stadium for the GUINNESS Series which kicks off against Canada on November 12, followed by a second clash with New Zealand on November 19 and finishing with Rugby World Cup finalists Australia on November 26.
Tickets for the GUINNESS Series will go on sale later in the year. Sign up to our newsletter to be kept up to date on this and other Irish Rugby news.
