Rugby: Sheehan takes over as Ireland’s captain to face All Blacks in Chicago

# Rugby: The returning Caelan Doris is only fit enough for a place on the bench for Ireland’s match tomorrow night against New Zealand in Chicago, with Dan Sheehan named as captain. Iain Henderson, Bundee Aki and Sam Prendergast are also on the bench. Jack Crowley starts at fly-half ahead of Prendergast, alongside half-back partner Jamison Gibson-Park. It will be the second time Ireland have faced New Zealand at Soldier Field in the US, after their historic first-ever win over the All Blacks in 2016.
