The Irish Rugby team is receiving messages from across the globe this morning after an historic victory over the All Blacks.
Congrats to cousin @KearneyRob on behalf of the Bidens. @IrishRugby's 1st win over New Zealand in 111 years. History made again in Chicago.

The New Zealand side were on an 18 match winning streak heading into last night's encounter.
Tries from Jordi Murphy, CJ Stander, Connor Murray, Simon Zebo and Robbie Henshaw gave Ireland an 11 point win at Soldier Field in Chicago.
They'll have to do it all again in the second test - this time in Dublin - in a fortnight's time.
