PRE MATCH

After a nervy 16-15 over England last weekend, the All Blacks have travelled west, now taking on world number two Ireland in easily the most exciting match up of 2018.

The last time these two sides met, the All Blacks came away winners 21-9, however, Joe Schmidt's Ireland had managed a famous win over New Zealand in Chicago the week before.

Steve Hansen has had as close to a full squad to pick from after the victory over England, with Sonny Bill Williams the only casualty, ruled out with a shoulder injury. The more than capable Ryan Crotty steps in to partner the young Jack Goodhue in the midfield.

Elsewhere for the All Blacks, Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick start their 50th Test match together, a New Zealand record, while Aaron Smith overtakes Justin Marshall as our most capped halfback.

Meanwhile Ireland's chances have taken a serious blow, with star halfback Conor Murray ruled out, however, be sure to keep an eye on former Chiefs centre Bundee Aki.
