The All Blacks have been beaten by Ireland 40-29 in Chicago. The result ends New Zealand’s record breaking winning run of 18 tests victories in a row. The result is the first time Ireland has ever beaten the All Blacks in their 28 attempts. Ireland led 25-8 at halftime and while New Zealand rallied in the second half to get back within four points Ireland, were too strong. The All Blacks captain Kieran Read said he didn’t think the side “turned up with the right attitude. We talked about it all week but when you come into a test match you’ve got to turn up with the right attitude and be physical…they came out and really took it to us and we took our time to react to that and you can’t leave it till the last 20 minutes every week to react.
