Ireland face New Zealand on Saturday for the first time since their 2019 World Cup defeat to them in Tokyo.
Andy Farrell's side kicked off their Autumn Tests with an impressive 60-5 win over Japan last weekend, but they know the All Blacks will be a much tougher challenge.
Farrell has made just one change to the team that defeated the Cherry Blossoms for the Dublin clash, with Iain Henderson replacing Tadhg Beirne.
Meanwhile, after naming a much-changed line-up for last weekend’s win in Italy, New Zealand coach Ian Foster has brought back his star names.
The team contains 14 players who started the thumping 54-16 victory over Wales a fortnight ago, with winger Sevu Reece the sole survivor from Rome.
