Ireland have named Kiwi-born pair James Lowe and Jamison Gibson-Park in their starting side to face the All Blacks at Eden Park on Saturday.
Former Blues halfback Gibson-Park and ex-Chiefs winger Lowe start in their respective positions, as Ireland bid for a maiden victory against the All Blacks in New Zealand.
Gibson-Park made his Ireland debut in 2020, completing a residency period after switching to Munster in 2016. The halfback has won 17 caps for Ireland since his debut.
The 30-year-old keeps the No.9 jersey over Conor Murray, and will combine with captain Johnny Sexton who starts at first-five.
Lowe meanwhile traded the Chiefs for Leinster in 2017, and made his Ireland debut in 2020, becoming a fixture on the left wing scoring six tries in 12 tests, including one against the All Blacks.
The pair both started for Ireland against the All Blacks last November, winning 29-20 in Dublin.
Elsewhere, fellow Kiwi-born Bundee Aki starts on the bench for Ireland, after captaining the side in Wednesday's defeat to the Māori All Blacks.
Also backing up from the Māori All Blacks loss is prop Cian Healy, despite being taken from the field by medical staff in Hamilton.
Hooker Dave Heffernan, lock Kieran Tredwell, halfback Murray and Dargaville-born Joey Carberry also all start on the bench, having also played against the Māori All Blacks.
