Rugby: Ireland looms as litmus test for 'developing' All Blacks

From Checkpoint, 6:21 pm on 12 November 2021

The All Blacks are preparing for the biggest challenge of their northern tour so far - taking on Ireland on Sunday morning.

They've effectively used two different teams on tour - their second string side beating the United States and Italy, with the top team outclassing Wales.

Most of the team that played Wales have been selected for this weekend's clash with Ireland, though Coach Ian Foster admits the All Blacks aren't the finished article just yet.
