Form Guide
After two defeats in their opening two games, Ireland bounced back to form after a dominant 23-12 win over the Kiwis in Dunedin. Two tries from Andrew Porter and 13 points from the boot of Johnny Sexton secured a first ever win for an Irish side on New Zealand soil.
Two weeks on from their opening game against the Maori All Blacks which ended in a 32-17 defeat, confidence levels will likely be sky high after the weekend's triumph.

Ireland have made 15 changes to the team that started against the All Blacks but 12 players remain in the starting team that began the first game against the Maori All Blacks.
