Having selected four debutants in an experimental squad against Japan last week, Farrell has picked a side loaded with experience – with the starting XV boasting a combined 711 caps – for the trip to Eden Park.<\/p>\n
Hugo Keenan, outstanding against Australia, returns at full-back with the versatile O’Brien shifting wings to the left to accommodate Baloucoune’s return. <\/p>\n
Jamie Osborne and Jacob Stockdale, who started on the left wing against Australia and Japan, are not included in the matchday squad.<\/p>\n
Garry Ringrose partners McCloskey in midfield as Robbie Henshaw drops out, while Prendergast and Jamison Gibson-Park renew their half-back pairing.<\/p>\n
In the pack, O’Toole makes his fifth successive Test start at loose-head prop stretching back to the Six Nations, with three-time British and Irish Lion tight-head Furlong and hooker Sheehan restored to the front row. <\/p>\n
Joe McCarthy is reinstalled in the second row alongside Ryan, meaning Beirne – who captained Ireland for the first time last week – moves to blind-side flanker. Open-side Josh van der Flier and number eight Conan complete the back row. <\/p>\n
Thirteen of the 15 selected started against Australia, with Baloucoune and Beirne the only changes as Osborne and Cian Prendergast miss out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
