Ireland beat the World Champs in Chicago last night with a result that can only be described as epic. 40-29... five tries! Unreal stuff, and we're pretty certain the session in the Windy City went on long into the night.. in fact, it's probably still going! Players and well known celebs have been reacting on social media here's a selection below. Well done lads!
