Trimble and D’Arcy back as Kidney makes four changes

Ireland coach Declan Kidney has made four changes to his starting line-up for Saturday’s second test with New Zealand at AMI Stadium in Christchurch.

Andrew Trimble is recalled to the left wing in place of Munster winger Simon Zebo, who drops to the bench, while Fergus McFadden is retained on the right wing with Rob Kearney anchoring proceedings from full-back.

In the absence of the injured Keith Earls, Brian O’Driscoll moves out to his preferred position of outside centre, alongside long-term midfield partner Gordon D’Arcy, who did not feature in last weekend’s matchday squad.
