O2 MatchDay Live will keep you up to date with all the goings on at the Aviva Stadium as Ireland meet New Zealand for the second time this year.
Their most recent clash in June, as part of Ireland’s 2010 summer tour, saw the Irish fall to a 66-28 defeat to the All Blacks in New Plymouth.
The loss of Jamie Heaslip to a first half red card hampered Ireland’s chances, but they still managed to score four tries through Dan Tuohy, Brian O’Driscoll, Tommy Bowe and Gordon D’Arcy.
Today’s Test is the 24th clash between Ireland and New Zealand. The old Lansdowne Road witnessed Ireland’s best result against the All Blacks to date – a 10-10 draw back in January 1973.
We will have live text commentary direct from the Aviva Stadium as Ireland look to make it two wins on the trot in this year’s GUINNESS Series.
