Ireland are on a revenge mission in the second of the three Tests against New Zealand.

The All Blacks asserted their dominance at Eden Park last week with a 42-19 victory in Auckland.

A 70-minute half from Test Pitt newcomer Gus Sovacula put the icing on the cake for the hosts.

However, the Irish can take some confidence from a second-half surge that saw Ian Foster’s All Blacks concede two early penalties.

Also, the TMO twice disallowed Ireland’s efforts, which would have narrowed the gap further.

  • New Zealand will host Ireland Saturday 9th July.
  • A rivalry between two great nations begins 8:05 am UK time – 19:00 local time.
  • The Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand has been designated for this fascinating match which can hold around 50,000 fans.
