    Intensity and defence are the keys All Blacks captain Scott Barrett's highlighting in tomorrow's opening Grand Slam test against Ireland


    The Chicago venue is of course the scene of the Irishmen's first-ever win over New Zealand in 20-16.

    Live coverage from 8.30am tomorrow on Newstalk ZB, Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.
