The good news for the Irish coming into this clash is that inspirational skipper Johnny Sexton, who was forced off the field last weekend in Auckland thanks to a head injury, has been passed fit for this second encounter with the Kiwis. The only change to the tourist’s line up for this game sees Mack Hansen come in for Keith Earls at 14.
The hosts meanwhile also make just one change from last weekend’s XV, with Dalton Papalii replacing the sidelined Sam Whitelock.
