Form Guide
It's been a difficult, injury plagued start to the summer tour for Ireland and Andy Farrell's side will have it all to do if they're to find a first ever win on New Zealand turf.
Ireland kicked off their tour with a 32-17 defeat at the hands of the Maori All Blacks last week and despite tries from Bundee Aki and Gavin Coombes, a poor first half led to a disappointing defeat.
Only Peter O'Mahony and Keith Earls kept their place for the first test against the Kiwis and Earls found himself on the scoresheet just five minutes into the game. Sadly, this was as good as it got as New Zealand ran in six tries to seal victory in the first test.
With Dave Heffernan, Johnny Sexton and James Hume all ruled out, Ireland have called up Niall Scannell, Ross Byrne and Stuart McCloskey as reinforcements.
Team News
Johnny Sexton is fit to start for Ireland in the second test despite going off injured last week in Auckland. The only change in the Irish team sees Mack Hansen come in for Keith Earls at 14.
The All Blacks have also made just one change, with Sam Whitelock forced out through injury and Dalton Papalii replacing him. Scott Barrett moves to the second row to facilitate that, after his controversial incident in the first test.
