Letter from Auckland: Returning son Gibson-Park hopes to make memories during his homecoming

For the four Kiwi-born players, a small section of the ramparts encircling fortress Eden Park has been dismantled and it means the world to them.

BACK HOME: Ireland's Jamison Gibson-Park.

For the four Kiwi-born players in Ireland’s squad facing the All Blacks this morning, a small section of the ramparts encircling fortress Eden Park has been dismantled and it means the world to them.

Jamison Gibson-Park and James Lowe were set to start in the Ireland backline with fly-half Joey Carbery and centre Bundee Aki on the bench as Andy Farrell’s were attempting to make history today by becoming the first Irish side to win a Test on these shores.
