Form Guide
After last weekend's triumph in Dunedin where Ireland beat the All Blacks on New Zealand soil for the first time, Andy Farrell made a full 15 changes to his side for Tuesday's game against the Maori All Blacks. After the disappointing defeat to the Maori side in their first outting of the summer tour, Ireland bounced back with a 30-24 win.
Two tries from Jordan Larmour and one a piece from Gavin Coombes and Nick Timoney levelled the two game series against the Maori All Blacks at 1-1.
After a disappointing start to the tour which saw Ireland lose to the Maori All Blacks and New Zealand in the opening games, many people felt that the test series was out of Ireland's reach after a long, gruelling domestic season for the majority of the players.
Thanfully, Andy Farrell's side surprised the Kiwis last weekend with a 23-12 win over New Zealand, to make sure that this weekend's game will decide the test. Two tries from the impressive Andrew Porter and 13 points from the boot of the ever reliable Johnny Sexton sealed the win.
There were also some great performances from the likes of Josh Van Der Flier and Peter O'Mahony who were instrumental to the win.
