A match-up that rarely disappoints, Ireland host the All Blacks in Dublin today for what should be an unmissable Autumn International rugby union clash. Read on as our guide explains how to get an Ireland vs New Zealand live stream and watch the huge rugby autumn international online -including how to watch the game absolutely FREE.
For the Irish, a 60-5 thrashing of Japan last week was a nice way to warm up both the playing personnel and the Aviva for this heavyweight encounter, and they need no reminders of their historically lean record against the All Blacks.

However, two wins from four makes for rather better reading than two from 32, and the Men in Green Ireland, will be desperate to prove those weren’t flukes.
It’s not often that a team gets slammed for only winning 47-9, but that’s the position the All Blacks are in after an underwhelming showing last weekend. Ian Foster’s second string side made a meal of Italy, but the big guns will be back for this one. Their line will be led by the one and only Beauden Barrett, who’s been full of praise for fellow centurion fly-half Johnny Sexton ahead of what might turn out to be their final battle in the trenches.
It’s a game of the highest order, so follow our guide as we explain all the ways to get a rugby live stream andhow to watch Ireland vs New Zealand for FREE.
