On November 1, the New Zealand All Blacks played their first game on U.S. soil in nearly 35 years, visiting a sold out Soldier Field in Chicago. In case you're not familiar, the All Blacks are to rugby as Taylor Swift is to infectious love ballads, entering this month's game against the USA Eagles as the reigning IRB Rugby World Cup Champions and a 50+ point favorite. 

New Zealand ultimately went on to win by 68 points. But, final score notwithstanding, there was a lot to be excited about. The city was buzzing. The beer was flowing. And, perhaps most importantly, Complex News was on the scene. In case you couldn't make it to the biggest rugby game on U.S. soil in over three decades, we have your back. Check out the video above.
