The Ireland team paid tribute to Axel Foley by lining up in a number eight as they faced down the Haka before kick-off.
Ireland face off against New Zealand in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in a titanic clash.
Prior to kick-off New Zealand lined up for their traditional Haka with their opponentβs lining up in a figure eight formation.
This echoes exactly what they did at Soldier Field in 2016 in memory of Axel Foley.
