Why the odds are stacked against the All Blacks to beat Ireland in Dublin

100 years of hurt - New Zealand has never beaten Ireland on Irish soil

The All Blacks have toured Ireland on four previous occasions, but they have never come away with a series victory. Their record in Dublin is particularly poor, having lost on all three of their visits to the Irish capital. Ireland's victory over the All Blacks in Chicago in 2016 was their first ever win over the New Zealanders. That result has given them a huge amount of confidence, and they will be determined to make it two wins out of two when the teams meet in Dublin on November 17. The All Blacks are the best team in the world, but they are vulnerable to defeat in Dublin. Ireland have a number of key players who are in excellent form, and they will be buoyed by the home crowd. If Ireland can play to their full potential, they have a real chance of beating the All Blacks and extending their unbeaten run against them.

Form team Ireland can expose All Blacks vulnerabilities

Ireland are the form team in world rugby at the moment. They have won their last 13 matches, including victories over England, South Africa, and New Zealand. The All Blacks, on the other hand, have been in indifferent form. They have lost two of their last three matches, including a surprise defeat to Argentina. Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has a number of in-form players at his disposal. Captain Johnny Sexton is playing some of the best rugby of his career, and he is ably supported by the likes of James Ryan, Tadhg Furlong, and Josh van der Flier. The All Blacks have a number of key players missing through injury, including Ardie Savea, Beauden Barrett, and Sam Cane. They will also be without head coach Ian Foster, who is serving a suspension. The All Blacks remain the favorites to win the match, but Ireland will be confident of causing an upset. Ireland will be determined to make the most of their home advantage, and they will be confident of beating the All Blacks for the second time in a row.
