Andy Farrell said his Ireland team know the solutions to their first Test woes as he made just one change to the side beaten by New Zealand for this Saturday’s second match.

Captain Johnny Sexton will once again lead the side having passed his Head Injury Assessment return to play protocols while Mack Hansen, who spent last weekend’s series opener in Auckland, a 42-19 defeat at Eden Park, in Covid isolation, is set to earn his fifth Ireland cap at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
