All Blacks face off against Ireland in Internationals on Sat 9th July 2022 at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 08:05. In South Africa it’s at 09:05 SAST, 19:05 NZST in New Zealand, 17:05 AEST in Australia and 00:05 EST in the US.
All Blacks won the last encounter but All Blacks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 3 places in the rankings with All Blacks in position 2 and Ireland in position 5, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for All Blacks vs Ireland will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
