A Kiwi journalist mistook Jack McGrath for Rory Best on Thursday afternoon.

By 5pm [local time] it was hard to miss Jack McGrath. The Leinster loosehead was immense for Ireland as they stunned the All Blacks 40-29 at Soldier Field. He scrummed like his life depended on it, carried hard and feasted on Kiwis like it was his sole business to do so. McGrath gave it an hour of pure grit before being called ashore for Cian Healy. As soon as the final whistle sounded, McGrath was straight back onto the pitch and in the height of it. One Irish rugby fan got a fantastic Snapchat image of McGrath, tricolour and pint in hand with the widest grin in Chicago. The main man duly tweeted it straight back out. https://twitter.com/jackmc100/status/795067343625945088 This INPHO snap wasn't too bad either. ack McGrath celebrates winning 5/11/2016 They know his name now!
