After their narrow win over England in the opening week of the Autumn Nations Series, New Zealand head to Dublin to face the world’s top ranked side, Ireland.

Their clashes have become one of the most anticipated fixtures in rugby. The Irish have got the better of the All Blacks in recent autumn and summer matches, but the Kiwis have bounced Ireland out of consecutive Rugby World Cup quarter-finals.

Ireland responded to World Cup disappointment with a Six Nations title, missing out on the Grand Slam in the penultimate round after a Marcus Smith drop goal.

The summer then saw them trade wins with South Africa as they ended a tour there 1-1.

The All Blacks come into this one after a dramatic 24-22 win over England, and having thumped Japan a week before that.

Ireland are buoyed by returns from Hugo Keenan, Jamison Gibson-Park and wing Mack Hansen, while Caelan Doris will take the captain’s armband in place of an injured Peter O'Mahony.

Ireland v New Zealand key player to watch

Garry Ringrose (Ireland)

The centre has been in solid form for Leinster, and will come up against Rieko Ioane. Ringrose will have the task of shooting forward in Ireland’s defensive system to cut off space for the likes of Ioane and the All Blacks’ backline.

Ireland v New Zealand prediction

Ireland will have some confidence having seen England run the All Blacks close last weekend, and the home advantage factor could be just enough to see them clinch another victory over the Kiwis.

Prediction: IRELAND WIN
