Current Munster player Paul Warwick and rugby pundits Paul Wallace, Eric Miller and Neil Francis preview Ireland’s clash with the All Blacks at the Aviva Stadium.
Ireland picked up a welcome win last week, having lost their previous four games.
But while their 20-10 victory over Samoa in the Guinness Autumn Series has helped restore some confidence, it was nowhere near as impressive as the All Blacks’ 49-3 demolition of Scotland at Murrayfield. Irish fans and squad alike will be hoping that they can step up a few gears to deal with the touring side.
Ireland have never beaten New Zealand and the Irish camp have said this week that they need to ‘step it up’ on Saturday.
Ireland may take faith from Munster, who with a depleted team defeated Australia during the week for the first time ever in Thomond Park.
Check out the thoughts of Paul Warrick, Paul Wallace, Eric Miller and Neil Francis ahead of the game.
