"Tadhg Furlong returns to Soldier Field, older, wiser and still the cornerstone of the Ireland scrum."
"If he's on the winning side today, he'll become the first Irishman to beat the All Blacks seven times."
"He's started all of the wins, including that 2016 victory in Chicago, as well as the Lions' win in Wellington a year later."
Tadhg Furlong returned to Soldier Field, older and wiser, and remained the cornerstone of Ireland's scrum. He made his second start in the win over New Zealand at Soldier Field early in his international career and now returns to the same venue with added experience. If he is on the winning side today, he will become the first Irishman to record seven victories over the All Blacks. Furlong started all of those wins, including Ireland's 2016 victory in Chicago and the British and Irish Lions' victory in Wellington in 2017.
