VIDEO: Robbie Henshaw and Irish team jet off for All Blacks clash in Chicago

Soldier Field in Chicago is famous for hosting American Football, but a different oval ball will take centre stage there on Saturday when the Irish rugby team takes on New Zealand in a much-anticipated test match.

This video, from Aer Lingus, shows Athlone's Robbie Henshaw and his teammates as they prepared to depart for the Windy City.

Saturday's game will begin at 8pm Irish time and will be televised here on the eir Sport channel.

The two sides will meet again in Dublin's Aviva Stadium two weeks later (Saturday, November 19). The Dublin game will start at 5.30pm and will be shown on RTE.
