Get the lowdown on the epic clash between All Blacks and Ireland this Saturday!
Get ready, rugby fanatics! This Saturday, the mighty All Blacks are facing off against the resilient Irish at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and the excitement is palpable! It’s not just any match - it’s a rematch of the unforgettable Rugby World Cup quarter-final last year, where the All Blacks narrowly edged out the Irish in a heart-stopping 28-24 clash at the Stade de France. Kickoff is set for 9:10 AM NZDT, and it promises to be a thrilling showdown between two rugby powerhouses.
All Blacks fullback Will Jordan believes that this match is critical for assessing their team's development as they gear up for more challenges.

Former All Black great Jeff Wilson believes the pressure is now on the home side to perform, saying, “Ireland were confident when they last played the All Blacks.” The intensity is definitely electric, and fans are ready to witness a battle that could alter rankings and reputations on the world stage.
