“Perhaps the hardest game of the weekend as No2 and No3 in the world face off in a blockbuster clash in Chicago. Ireland and New Zealand have played out some classics in recent years, with the last 10 games resulting in five wins for each nation. The Irish won 41-19 the last time they played in Chicago in 2016 but we think the neutral ground could play into New Zealand’s hands for this one, with Andy Farrell’s men often so formidable at the Aviva Stadium with the home crowd roaring them on. While it could be by a narrow margin, we are backing an All Blacks win.”
