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.
