Irelands class of 2016 stamped their names into the history books as Joe Schmidts side dispatched New Zealand 40-29 in Chicago for their first win over the All Blacks in 111 years of trying.Three days after the Chicago Cubs ended a 108-year drought to land baseballs World Series, Ireland lit up Soldier Field with their maiden win over the All Blacks at the 29th attempt.New Zealands record-breaking winning run was halted at 18 Tests in the Windy City, with Robbie Henshaw powering home for Irelands fifth and decisive try. The last time the Leinster centre Henshaw was at Soldier Field he was dancing to superstar DJ Tiestos tunes - this time he inked his name into Irelands annals.Jordi Murphy, CJ Stander, Conor Murray, Simon Zebo and Henshaw all crossed for Ireland, who had led 30-8 on 46 minutes before New Zealand fired back into the contest.The All Blacks cut the deficit to 33-29, but, unlike in 2013 when Ireland surrendered a 22-7 lead in a 24-22 defeat, this time Schmidts men held on.George Moala, TJ Perenara, Ben Smith and debutant Scott Barrett all bagged tries for New Zealand, but Steve Hansens back-to-back world champions were finally defeated - for the first time since August 2015.?Some five million people flocked to the Cubs victory parade on Friday, and now the scores of Irish fans in town are fully able to join the party.Ireland drew first blood thanks to Johnny Sextons first-minute penalty, only for Moala to register a hugely controversial try on video review, with officials ignoring Kieran Reads clear high tackle on Stander.New Zealand led 5-3 owing to Beauden Barretts missed conversion, but were quickly reduced to 14 men for 10 minutes. Prop Joe Moody eventually was sent to the sin-bin for dangerously upending Henshaw at a ruck.Ireland punted the penalty to the corner, and drove flanker Murphy home. Sextons touchline conversion wrestled Ireland a 10-5 lead in the 11th minute. Ireland quickly doubled their try count, taking full advantage of another high tackle. Sextons peerless line punt to the corner set up another five-metre lineout. Rob Kearney cut the line tidily in the 13 channel and Stander powered home for his sides second score.Beauden Barretts penalty left Ireland leading 15-8 after 20 minutes. Rob Kearney soared above Ben Smith to the restart after the penalty, and from that platform Ireland bagged further points. Sexton slotted his second penalty, to leave Ireland leading 18-8.Ireland then lost try-scorer Murphy to a suspected serious knee injury, the Leinster star carted off on a stretcher after twisting his boot into the turf. Ireland had entirely bossed possession and territory in a hugely-impressive opening half-hour, and Murray scampered through for the third try. The Ireland nine had pilfered a bouncing ball after Sextons bomb, then sold Aaron Smith a cute dummy around the fringes, to romp over the whitewash. Sextons conversion put Ireland 25-8 to the good.They held that lead until the break. Moody was lucky to escape with just a penalty for a high shot on Kearney after the restart, especially given his first-half yellow card. Ireland punished the error once more, though, with Zebo flying into the left corner after another fine driven lineout. Sextons delayed flat pass gifted Munster wing Zebo a walk-in, further stunning the All Blacks. The Leinster playmaker missed the touchline conversion, but Ireland still led 30-8.New Zealand had already hooked stand-in lock Jerome Kaino for rookie Scott Barrett, and Aaron Smith for TJ Perenara. And it was Perenara who raced in for New Zealands second score, a try owing everything to hooker Dane Coles superlative offload. Beauden Barretts conversion cut Irelands lead to 30-15. No sooner had New Zealand shifted Ben Smith to the right wing, though, than he dotted down acrobatically in the corner. Beauden Barrett slotted the touchline conversion, with Irelands lead down to 30-22.Owen Franks obstruction gifted Ireland a kickable penalty from the restart, but with Sexton receiving treatment for cramp, up stepped scrum-half Murray to the tee. The Munster star slotted the three points with ease, edging Irelands lead to 33-22. Sexton was then forced out through potential injury, leaving 20-year-old rookie Joey Carbery to make one of the highest-pressure debuts.Scott Barrett marked his own debut with New Zealands fourth try, wrong-footing Kearney, with his brother Beauden converting to cut Irelands deficit to just four points. Ireland still led 33-29 with 15 minutes to play, but the omens amid the All Blacks recovery only continued to grow. Try-scorer Moala slumped off with 10 minutes to play with a serious-looking shoulder problem, leaving New Zealand forced into a total re-jig. Hooker Codie Taylor, as the last replacement available, slotted in at blindside, with flanker Ardie Savea moving out to the wing.Zebo cut loose and then punted deep, Ireland forcing Julian Savea to touch down for a five-metre scrum. From the scrum Henshaw powered home for Irelands fifth try, converted by Carbery. That left Ireland leading 40-29 with three minutes to play. Carbery missed a late penalty shot, but, in a week already dripping with sporting history, Ireland still hung on to add their own twang to the tale. Dalvin Cook Womens Jersey .

TORONTO -- Top-ranked Novak Djokovic beat 10th-seeded Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday night to reach the Rogers Cup final and improve to 12-0 against the Frenchman.You do have a certain mental comfort knowing that you have had plenty of success against your opponent, Djokovic said. Nevertheless, that is not a certainty. Thats not a guarantee that you can win the match. Actually, it makes him more eager to come out and play his best tennis.Djokovic will face third-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan on Sunday. Nishikori beat second-seeded Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland 7-6 (6), 6-1 in the first semifinal.Djokovic is trying to win a record 30th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title. The 29-year-old Serb has 12 Grand Slam titles, winning this year in Australia and France.Monfils was coming off a victory last week in Washington.I guess he missed a few shots at the beginning. I got some opportunities and I took them, Monfils said. And then suddenly he was not missing anymore. He was going for his shots and being much better in the rallies. He became super solid. When Novak is playing like that, its very tough to beat him.Djokovic had six double faaults and one ace.ddddddddddddIve been working on my serve a lot the last couple of years, and I think especially on the second serve it has gave me an advantage, more depth on the second serve and so forth, Djokovic said. In this tournament, it is not working very well, but in general in past couple of years, it has served me very well.Nishikori recorded his fourth straight Memphis title in February for his 11th ATP Tour victory. He has lost his past eight matches with Djokovic, the last loss in the Key Biscayne final in April.Havent beat Novak for a long time on hard court, Nishikori said. I think its going to be a great challenge for me to play Novak again in the final, because we played in Miami and he dominated the game. So, I hope I can get revenge this time.In the doubles semifinals, Britains Jamie Murray and Brazils Bruno Soares beat Canadas Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 6-7 (5), 10-7, and Croatias Ivan Dodig and Brazils Marcelo Melo topped Romanias Florin Mergea and Horia Tecau 6-4, 6-3.
