1 day ago International Rugby Six favours the All Blacks need from Santa's little helpers
I only have a few things on my list of rugby Christmas wishes from Santa this year. None of them are too much to ask, either.
Ireland face off against All Blacks in Internationals on Fri 8th November 2024 at Aviva Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 20:10 and is broadcast on TNT Sports, Discovery+. In South Africa it’s at 22:10 SAST on SuperSport, 09:10 NZST on Sky Sport, Sky Sport Now, Sky Go in New Zealand, 07:10 AEST on Stan Sport in Australia and 12:10 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 2 places in the rankings with All Blacks in position 2 and Ireland in position 4, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Ireland vs All Blacks will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
