Team news, TV and radio coverage and everything else you need to know ahead of Ireland's crunch Rugby World Cup quarter-final with New Zealand at Stade de France.
Ireland and New Zealand clash in Paris on Saturday night in what is being billed as the country's most important Test match ever.
Ian Foster’s men went on to record huge victories against Namibia, Italy and Uruguay, while Ireland had little to worry about in routine wins over Romania, Tonga and Scotland.

All three Barrett brothers start, while prop Tyrel Lomax won his fitness battle and Damian McKenzie has earned a place on the bench.
