Keith Earls looks set to captain Ireland on Tuesday when the tourists meet the Maori All Blacks at Sky Stadium.

The Munster and Ireland veteran, who won his 97th Test cap in the series opener against the All Blacks nine days ago, missed out on Saturday’s second-Test win in Dunedin to Mack Hansen but will back up in this second game at outside centre as head coach Andy Farrell manages his stretched squad for the penultimate game of this demanding tour.
