Winger Mack Hansen has been deemed fit enough to start Ireland's crunch quarter-final clash with New Zealand on Saturday evening.

James Lowe and Tadhg Furlong also make the starting XV after being doubts, while James Ryan misses out through injury. Leinster teammates Johnny Sexton and Jamison Gibson-Park start again at fly-half and scrum-half respectively.

Garry Ringrose and Bundese Aki are the centre pairing, while stalwart Hugo Keenan starts again at full back. The forward pack is unchanged from Ireland's 36-14 win over Scotland last weekend as Tadgh Beirne, Iain Henderson and Peter O'Mahony are joined by the Leinster pairing of Josh van der Flier and Calen Doris.

There is also plenty of coverage on the bench as Jack Crowley waits in the wings, as well as the likes of Conor Murray and Finlay Bealham.
