American rugby union fans will get the opportunity to see world champions New Zealand first hand when they take on Ireland at Chicago's Soldier Field in November.

The All Blacks, who won the Rugby World Cup for the third time last year, will meet the 2015 Six Nations champions as part of their end of year tour on November 5, before heading to Dublin for a rematch on November 19.

New Zealand last played Ireland in a 2013 Test in Dublin, in which the All Blacks clinched a dramatic 24-22 win to complete an unbeaten season.

The most devastated I have ever been after any game. I bought tickets for the fall autumn series and saw them beat badly the week before by Folau and Australia. But sitting in the stadium, when they had the ball and all they had to do was drive, the place was crazy.

I must have drank 12 Ciders at Slatterys after the game and who knows how many downtown Dublin afterwards

Really thought I was going to witness history.

Would have went down as one of the all time great games had they pulled it off. Still was a really exciting match from a neutral point of view.

That kick was amazing!

Between 2 kids 5 and under, Im lucky if I get the TV long enough to watch 1 rugby match. Only have gotten to watch the Scotland matches of the 6 Nations. Heart breaking each week so far. Should be able to get a W this week against Italy.

Super Rugby kicks off Friday. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the new Argentine and Japanese teams do.

Jaguares take on the Cheetahs Friday and Saturday the Sunwolves take on the Lions.

Probably will not watch very many of them live but they show the reruns for up to a week.

I have the ESPN app on my Amazon fire stick which I watch on the big screen in HD!!

Man, I am loving having Super League rugby on ESPN3. I've been watching live rugby continuously for the past 4 1/2 hours. The Argentina Jaguares looked good in their debut match against the Cheetahs. And the Japanese Sunwolves fought tough against the Lions. It looks like the new expansion teams are here to stay.

Loved it!!!!!

It's so awesome to be able to watch.

I was half thinking about doing a separate season long thread?
I think more people on here would get into it!
I'm not sure who to pull for?

Who are y'all pulling for?

Since I started following the Super 12 when it started in 1995 and have been a Sharks fan due to a lot of guys I played with while on the Chicago Lions.

So many heartbreaks, but watching George Gregan dominate them in the 2001 final was tough. But at least my man Mark Andrews slammed Gregan (Yes, it was dirty, but that is all I have).

And in 2012 watching the Bulls beat them by 1

Back in the US for awhile

...watching the Sharks game right now.

This is also really going to save me money as really the only reason I have kept Directv around was because of the free Super Rugby
