What time and TV channel is Maori All Blacks v Ireland on this Tuesday?

The atmosphere will have been great in the Ireland camp in recent days following Saturday's famous win over New Zealand in Dunedin.

Andy Farrell's side defeated the All Blacks 23-12 to become the first Irish team ever to win on New Zeland soil. They will face Ian Foster's side in the series decider in Wellington this weekend.

But before then, Ireland will lock horns with the Maori All Blacks as they aim to avenge their defeat to them from their first game of the tour.

Quotes corner

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell: “We’ve some young lads in that changing room that have been inspired by these lot (the Test team), who want to get back out there again on Tuesday night and perform well against the Maoris.

“These lads have taken a lot of pain, that’s what we’ve put them under, the pressure of taking them out of their comfort zone.

“The weeks have been totally different to what they’ve been used to before because of us trying to play five games in such a short space of time and there’s been no whinging.

“They’ve been mentally really tough and they’ll back the lads up as well to make sure they’re in good form for Tuesday night.”
