Sean O’Brien, left, and C.J. Stander at the Ireland rugby press conference Thursday at Carton House in County Kildare, ahead of the weekend’s game against world champions New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The returning O’Brien is the only change to the Irish team that beat the All Blacks 40-29 at Soldier Field, Chicago, on Nov. 4, after 27 losses and one draw between the sides over 111 years. Stander scored one of the five tries that helped defeat a New Zealand side that had been on an 18-game unbeaten run. Kickoff is tomorrow (Saturday) at 5:30 p.m. local time.
