World number one Ireland take on New Zealand in the Autumn Nations Series, aiming to avenge last year’s World Cup heartbreak.
Ireland and New Zealand are set to renew their fierce rivalry in a Friday night showdown in Dublin as part of the Autumn Nations Series.
After last year’s World Cup heartbreak, where New Zealand narrowly knocked them out in the quarter-finals, Ireland have rebounded impressively, winning the Six Nations title.
However, the pain undoubtedly lingers and now the world’s number-one team has a chance to reclaim their edge in what should be a thrilling battle between two of rugby's giants.
The All Blacks, fresh off a dramatic win over England, arrive determined to challenge Ireland’s top ranking; however, the bookmakers expect a different result.

Ireland vs New Zealand Prediction: Ireland to Win
Ireland look primed for victory against New Zealand in Dublin, where they boast a remarkable 19-game winning streak at the Aviva Stadium, arguably the toughest stadium to visit in international rugby.
Ranked number one in the world, Ireland have consistently shown their strength, claiming a Six Nations title earlier this year and displaying remarkable resilience since their World Cup heartbreak at the hands of the All Blacks, winning five of their seven games since.
Their only defeat came against England in South African this summer.
The return of key players, including Mack Hansen, Hugo Keenan, and Jamison Gibson-Park, bolsters their lineup, and Jack Crowley is ready to confidently fill Jonny Sexton’s shoes at fly-half.
Meanwhile, New Zealand arrive with recent struggles, narrowly defeating England last week but showing signs of vulnerability with their high penalty count that could benefit Ireland if repeated.
The All Blacks also face significant absences, including Beauden Barrett and Codie Taylor, which could expose them further.
Buoyed by the added motivation of avenging their world cup defeat, Ireland can win this game.
