The team news is in and Ireland have made one just change to the side that crushed Japan last week: Iain Henderson replaces Tadhg Beirne at lock.
The All Blacks, meanwhile, have made 14 changes to the XV that thumped Italy. Fresh faces include Will Jordan at number 14, Jordie Barrett at fullback and brother Beauden Barrett at fly. Sam Whitelock will captain the All Blacks. Sevu Reece is the only player to survive Ian Forster's cull.
New Zealand arrive in Dublin having recently broken the world record for most points and tries scored in a calendar year. And despite resting several key players last week, ran seven tries without breaking a sweat.
Can Ireland shock the number one team in the world? Coach Andy Farrell will be praying for a repeat of 2018, when Ireland came out 16-9 winners at the Aviva to record their first ever home win against the All Blacks.
"The most important thing is that we win, that's what we're judged on," said Ireland captain Sexton. "Yeah it's great getting plaudits for how we played on Saturday - we showed bits of that during the Six Nations but I think the pleasing part about it was that it was a bit more consistent this week."
Ireland vs New Zealand kicks off at 3.15pm GMT today, Saturday 13th November, and UK rugby fans can watch for free on Channel 4. Follow our guide to watch an Ireland vs New Zealand live stream from anywhere with a VPN.
Ireland vs New Zealand free live stream
Amazon Prime has secured the rights in the UK to broadcast most of the 2021 Autumn Internationals, including England vs Australia later in the day. But Channel 4 has the rights to broadcast – and live stream – all of Ireland's matches for free.
Going to be away from the UK when the rugby's on? Simply use a VPN to access Channel 4 from anywhere in the world, without being geo-blocked. We recommend ExpressVPN. You can try it 100 per cent risk-free thanks to the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Watch Ireland vs New Zealand from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant 2021 Autumn Internationals rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the rugby, you may wish to choose 'UK' to access Channel 4.
3. Then head over to Channel 4 on your browser or device and enjoy a Ireland vs New Zealand live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
