The sides are out on the field, anthems to follow

Ireland and New Zealand clash in the November Autumn Internationals. Ireland is coming off a convincing 60-5 thumping of Japan, while the All Blacks comfortably beat Italy 47-9. Head to head these sides have met on 32 occasions, with the All Blacks historically dominant with 29 victories to just the two by Ireland to go along with a single draw. Ireland’s two wins have however come in the last four encounters.

The replacements for Saturday’s game are Rob Herring, Cian Healy, Finlay Bealham, Tadhg Beirne, Peter O’Mahony, Conor Murray, Joey Carbery and Keith Earls.

There is one change to the pack with Iain Henderson starting alongside James Ryan in the engine room while the front row of Andrew Porter, Ronan Kelleher and Tadgh Furlong is retained.

Similarly the backrow of Caelan Doris at six, Josh van der Flier at 7 and Jack Conan at No.8 continues from last week’s game against Japan.

The back three of Hugo Keenan, Andrew Conway and James Lowe will also play New Zealand at senior level for the first time. Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose are partnered in midfield for the fourteenth occasion.
