Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt is set to make a number of changes for this weekend’s Test with the All Blacks when he names his team at around lunchtime tomorrow.
Rob Kearney has trained well this week and looks set to come straight back into the starting line-up in place of youngster Jordan Larmour. Garry Ringrose also looks set for a recall after recovering from a problem picked up against Italy.
Elsewhere in the pack Dan Leavy will be the man to replace Sean O’Brien at openside, while Devin Toner looks set to be promoted from the bench as Ireland look to combat New Zealand’s lineout.
