According to one Irish newspaper, the All Black's are the most hated side in rugby - and that the only people that love them are us New Zealanders. We're not sure about where they got their facts from, though, because the All Blacks are known for their wide appeal across the world, especially in the UK. Why else would they get 50,000 people to the game against Scotland?

It certainly wasn't just to watch the Scots.

The Irish may 'apparently' hate us (and chances are they won't like us much after the weekend, either), because they are about to face to the strongest possible All Blacks side - Henry has has chosen a full strength side for the second Test of the Grand Slam tour.

The Irish will definitely prove to be a tougher Test than the one against Scotland, but like the Scots they have yet to taste victory against the mighty All Blacks - and once again the All Blacks should prove to strong.

Mils Muliaina returns to the team after missing the first part of the tour to be at home with his new born son Max. Toeava has done a fantastic job filling in, but when Muliaina is available you pick him - after all he is, in our opinion, the best fullback in the world. Toeava will move to the bench, where he can cover a whole range of positions.

Joe Rokocoko has retained his place on the wing after an impressive return to Test rugby last week. He looked to get involved wherever he could, and it was certainly enough to secure one of the wing births. His cousin Sivivatu will return to the other wing after a week off - maybe the return of Joe can shake Sivivatu up a bit, and help him get back to the form we know he's capable of.

In the forwards Tony Woodcock, Brad Thorn, Rodney So'oialo and Jerome Kaino all make their way back to the team after resting against the Scots. Ali Williams will play his third game on tour, while Richie McCaw and Neemia Tialata return to the starting lineup.

It doesn't get much stronger than this, and the Irish will need to be on top of their game if they want to avoid a thrashing. They did perform well earlier in the year, but this is an All Blacks side that has grown since then, and should prove far too strong. It doesn't help that Ireland have only had a Test against Canada as a warm up to the main event...

This is one game where the Irish will need all the luck they can get.
