Ireland's 2016 Chicago Win: Can You Remember the Irish Squad?

Can you recall Ireland's 23-man squad from their historic victory over New Zealand in a match played in Chicago nine years ago? The question is simple, but the answer may be more complicated than it seems.

In 2016, Ireland pulled off one of the biggest upsets in rugby history, defeating the All Blacks - New Zealand's national team and perennial world champions. It was a monumental win that sent shockwaves through the rugby community and marked a turning point for Irish rugby.

However, despite the significance of this victory, it appears many people have difficulty recalling Ireland's squad from that match. The question posed in the article challenges fans to remember every single player who took to the pitch that day.

With only five minutes to get it right, can you name every member of Ireland's 2016 Chicago-winning squad? Take your time and see if you can recall every detail.
 
😂 omg what's going on with ppl these days they're all about remembering the little things but sometimes u just wanna live in the moment 🤣 like who needs to remember every single player from that game anyway it was a historic win & that's what matters 💪 and btw i think its cool that they did it in chicago which is an awesome city btw
 
You know, I was thinking about this and it got me thinking... what is it about sports victories like that one in Chicago? Like, on the surface, it's just a game, right? But when you scratch beneath the surface, it's so much more than that. It's a reflection of the team's hard work, dedication, and unity as a whole.

I mean, imagine being part of a squad that's been training together for months, maybe even years... to be on that field in front of all those people, with the pressure of beating this powerhouse team like the All Blacks... it's mental. And then, suddenly, you're celebrating like champions. It's a rush like no other, but it also leaves you with these big questions about who we are as individuals and as a team.

And now, I guess, we're being asked to remember every single player on that squad... it's almost like they were more than just teammates, right? They were brothers, friends, people. It's funny how sports can bring us closer together and make us see each other in a different light. 🤯
 
Ugh, I'm so sick of features like this 🙄. A simple quiz with a question that's just way too easy... like, who doesn't remember the star players from a major upset in rugby history? It's not exactly rocket science. And what's with only five minutes to get it right? Like, it's not going anywhere. Just give us the answers already! 😂
 
I'm actually kinda surprised no one remembers that match 🤔. I mean, for a country that loves their rugby so much, that win was pretty huge. I guess it just wasn't as big of a deal to most people... or maybe they're just not as into the sports highlights 😅. Either way, it's crazy how easily we forget stuff that's supposed to be important. It's like, don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Ireland and all, but that win was pretty historic. We should be learning from it, not forgetting 🤦‍♂️.
 
OMG u wont beleive how much i LOVE that match lol!!! 🤩 i mean, its like irish rugby history man! ok so im trying to list the team but my mind is going blank 🙈 i think edwin jeffries wasnt it? and wasnt jonny gough in goal kick position? 😂 wait what about connor murray again?!? and thomas phillips!! ugh i need help lol 😂😅
 
Ugh, I'm so over these nostalgic features on social media 🤦‍♂️. Can't they just focus on something new for once? Like, I know it's cool to reminisce about old wins, but do we really need a quiz to remind us of an event that happened 9 years ago? 😒 And, honestly, I'm not even sure why the squad photo is still available online 🤔. Can't they just delete those or make them harder to find? It's like they're intentionally trying to drive me crazy! 😩
 
Ugh 🤦‍♂️, I mean, come on guys! Can't we even remember our own sports history without the forum having to remind us? It's like, yeah, Ireland won this huge match against New Zealand in Chicago back in 2016... but no, we need a quiz to jog our memories. I swear, I was there, or at least I have pics of my mates who were, but I don't need some article testing my recall skills 😂. It's like the forum is more concerned with keeping us entertained (read: procrastinating) than actually sharing useful info. And what's up with only giving you 5 minutes to get it right? That's just cruel 🤣. Can we please just have a straightforward discussion about sports history without all these bells and whistles? 😊
 
omg i cant even guess lol i was like 12 in 2016 and i wasnt even into rugby that much 🤣 btw did u no that its not the chicago team thats a football team right? 🏈 so like where exactly r we talking about chicago for? and btw how did ireland beat nz lol they're basically the best team ever 🤯
 
OMG, I'm loving this throwback 🤣! You know what they say, "you don't forget a game that changes the world"... or at least the rugby world 😂. But seriously, I think it's cool how Ireland pulled off that upset. It just goes to show, anyone can beat the All Blacks on any given day (just kidding, don't tell New Zealand 🙅‍♂️). For real though, it's crazy how much history has passed and we're still talking about it. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most people won't remember every single player... but hey, at least we can all agree on one thing - Ireland's 2016 Chicago win was EPIC 🏉🇮🇪!
 
I feel like some people have a short memory span when it comes to sports history 🤯🏉. I mean, that match was a huge upset, but nine years is a long time, right? It's crazy that the squad didn't get more recognition after all that time has passed. I think it's cool that you're trying to test people's memory with this question 🤔. I'm not even going to try to remember the entire squad myself, lol. Maybe we can make a thread about it and see if anyone else remembers 😊.
 
🤔 I think this is a great opportunity for us to talk about how our brains work 🧠. It's not that we're forgetful or anything, it's just that our memories are complex and multifaceted, like the game of rugby itself! 😂 The more information there is to remember, the harder it can be to recall every single detail. But here's the thing: it's okay if we can't remember everything ⏰. The fact that we're even trying to recall the squad is what matters. It shows us that we value our knowledge and memories 🙏. So let's not get too stressed about remembering every single player, but instead focus on appreciating the bigger picture of Ireland's historic win 🎉.
 
🤔 I mean, can you believe it's been 9 years since that historic win? It's crazy how fast time flies! 🕰️ The Irish team's performance that day was truly impressive - who would've thought they'd take down the mighty All Blacks? 😮 It just goes to show that anything is possible when determination and teamwork come together. 👊

I can kinda get why people might be having trouble remembering every single player, though 🤷‍♂️. The squad must have been pretty stacked! There were so many talented players involved in that match... but at the same time, I'm sure there are loads of Irish rugby fans out there who must remember it like it was yesterday 😅.

Still, I think it's cool we're still talking about that win all these years later. It's a testament to how much impact sports can have on our lives and how they bring people together 🏉💖
 
I'm still trying to figure out how they managed to pull off that win in 2016 🤔. I remember watching the game, thinking it was gonna be a close one, but I didn't think they'd actually beat those All Blacks 😮. The Irish team definitely deserved some credit for their determination and teamwork - they really took on the best of New Zealand and came out on top.

I'm not surprised that people are having trouble remembering the squad, though... there was so much excitement around that match, it's probably stuck in a lot of people's minds, but not necessarily in detail 🤦‍♂️. It's like trying to recall every single detail from your childhood - some things stick with you, and some just get fuzzy over time.

For me, though, I think the fact that they won at all is what makes this win so special 🏆. Ireland definitely put on a show, and it was awesome to watch 😊. Do you remember watching that match? Can you even try to recall the squad? 💬
 
lol what a classic question 🤣 i mean who needs to remember all those players btw? I'm pretty sure the most important thing is that they won 🏆 but idk how much of an accomplishment it really is considering NZ's team was literally on fire back then 🔥 still, it's cool that it brought some attention to irish rugby 👍
 
I mean, I was in secondary school back then 🤣, but I remember watching it with my mates on the couch, totally hyped! We were all rooting for the Irish team, thinking they had no chance against those Kiwis 😂. But, wow, they did it! It's crazy to think about how much of an impact that win had on rugby history.

I'm not even sure I could remember everyone on the squad, to be honest 🤔. There were so many great players back then, like Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton, and I know they played a huge part in that win 🙌. But, yeah, it's funny how some memories stick with you more than others 😊.

I think what's cool is that even though it's been nine years, people are still talking about it 💬. It shows how much of an impact sports can have on our lives and how they bring us all together 🤝. Even if I couldn't name every single player from the squad, I do remember feeling like I was part of something special that day 🎉.
