It's happening. 5 November at Soldier Field.
I'm not sure what's in it for you guys, presumably a cut of the gate. It also gives you a sighter ahead of the test in Dublin a couple of weeks later.

I'd say a severe humping. It also gives the ABs a sighter for Dublin.

I'd also wager it would be a dead cert pulling opportunity for any of the lads in green that care to chance their arm.

Marketing. Chicago is yet another Irish-friendly American city. Plus a cut of the gate. Plus as many weemin as they can squeeze into a hotel room. Plus we'll bate yez.
Ok I made up the last one.

It will be nearly 3 years since we played each other by then. Anything could happen. It could a nail-biter as we had in Christchurch when that excellent touring side came here in 2012; or it could be a hideous pants-down thrashing like we gave in Hamilton to that shower-o-shoite you sent over to 2012.

I've seen a few cynical souls link this and Ireland looking for votes for their RWC bid.

That seems more like good business sense than cynicism to me. It certainly isn't any more cynical than the mysterious process by which Murrayfield has hosted 13 RWC matches, across 3 tournaments, without ever being an official host.

I'll be there. For those traveling beware. It could be VERY cold, or pretty warm! A couple year's back when ABs played USA it was windy and about 0°C
