And unfortunately Ireland couldn’t repeat the success of Chicago last night.

So a ceremonial jersey swap took place in the Aviva after the match

And the gesture was well received

We might have fought hard on the pitch, but we can both be sound off it

We’d still prefer the green, but a bet’s a bet.
