New Zealand v Ireland: Robert Baloucoune starts as Irish recall key men for Nations Championship game

Ireland wing Robert Baloucoune returns to the starting lineup for Saturday's Nations Championship match against New Zealand in Auckland, having recovered from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss wins over Australia and Japan. Baloucoune, who won the Six Nations Rising Player award after starring in Ireland's Triple Crown campaign earlier this year, is joined by a host of recalled key players including captain Dan Sheehan. Head coach Andy Farrell rotates his squad back after fielding a heavily changed side in last week's 36-20 victory over Japan.
