After 28 attempts and 111 years, Ireland has defeated New Zealand in rugby.

What a match it was, with Simon Zebo's heroic antics and dives, the Chicagoan crowd streaming in behind and, well, all of it really. A historic win, by any accounts. Ireland won 40 points to New Zealand's 29, and Chicago has never seen a victory quite like - except for maybe the Chicago Cubs' recent win in the World Series.

Naturally, Twitter was playing a blinder. Here's some of the highlights.
