Head coach Andy Farrell has made just one change to Ireland’s team as they prepare for the third and final test match of the series against the All Blacks in Wellington.

Bundee Aki has been named at inside centre to partner Robbie Henshaw in the midfield after incumbent No 13 Garry Ringrose succumbed to injury.

The experienced No 12 has a vast wealth of experience playing alongside Johnny Sexton for Ireland, softening the Ringrose blow somewhat.

Sexton will be out to play his 108th cap, which will equal former captain Paul O’Connell’s tally.

Hugo Keenan, Mack Hansen and James Lowe have been named again in the back three, while Jamison Gibson-Park will partner Sexton in the halves.

Conor Murray, Joey Carbery and Keith Earls are named on the bench.

The industrious Irish pack from the first two tests remains in tact with Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong starting in the front row with Tadhg Beirne and James Ryan in the second. Ireland will carry one lock on the bench in Kieran Treadwell with Rob Herring, Cian Healy and Finlay Bealham as front row replacements.

The loose forward trio of Peter O’Mahony, Josh van der Flier and Caelan Doris round out a well balanced forward unit with Jack Conan on the bench as cover.

Ireland made history in Dunedin with their first ever win over the All Blacks on New Zealand soil, which was their fourth win in their last seven outings against the men in black.

With the series levelled 1-1, Ireland have a chance to break more historical ground with an unprecedented series win over New Zealand.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
