Team news: One change for Ireland Mack Hansen will start for Ireland against New Zealand in Dunedin this Saturday

ANDY FARRELL has selected another strong side for the second test against New Zealand at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin this Saturday.  

Farrell makes one change to the side that lost 42-19 in Eden Park.  

Mack Hansen comes in for Keith Earls after overcoming Covid-19 and isolation.  

The front row of Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong stays the same. 

As does the half-back partnership of Johnny Sexton and Jamison Gibson Park. 

The two locks are Tadhg Beirne and James Ryan. 

Peter O’Mahony, Josh van der Flier and Caelan Doris make up the backrow. 

Hansen and James Lowe take up roles on the wings. 

Robbie Henshaw and Gary Ringrose keep their centre partnership. 

First test try scorer Bundee Aki starts on the bench again, as does Cian Healy, Kieran Treadwell, Jack Conan, Conor Murray and Joey Carbery. 

The second test can be watched live on SKY and RTE Radio. (8.05am IST).
