Andy Farrell has opted to make just one change to the Ireland team to play the All Blacks this Saturday from the one which easily defeated Japan last weekend.
Into the second row comes Iain Henderson with Tadhg Beirne dropping to the bench. Henderson made impactful appearance off the bench in the 60-5 win against Japan.
Jamison Gibson-Park again starts at scrum-half with Conor Murray on the bench. It is an all Leinster pairing in the half-backs with captain Johnny Sexton winning his 101st cap.
Ulster hooker Rob Herring takes the place of Dan Sheehan on the bench.
Ireland face New Zealand at a sold out Aviva Stadium at 3:15pm on Saturday looking to avenge their heavy defeat at the World Cup two years ago.
