Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has named his side to take on the All Blacks in their Autumn Nations Series opener at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night (kick-off, 8.10pm). 

The sides meet for the first time since the 2023 World Cup quarter-final meeting in France, which went the way of the All Blacks.
