The Chicago 'rematch' is set for Saturday with Ireland and New Zealand returning to the scene of their historic 2019 battle at Soldier Field.

Head coaches Andy Farrell and Scott Robertson have named their squads for the match with Jack Crowley given the nod at fly-half for Ireland and Beauden Barrett named in the same position for the All Blacks.

In their last ten meetings, the sides are level with five wins apiece - so who will come out on top this weekend?

We'll have live radio commentary of the match on BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra from 20:00 GMT.

Jim Neilly will be joined by former Ireland forward Chris Henry on commentary.

The build-up will start on the BBC Sport website with text commentary from 18:30 GMT with everything you need to know ahead of the game.

And why don't you get yourself in the mood by listening (or watching on YouTube, external) the latest Ireland Rugby Social podcast as Gavin Andrews takes Conor Murray and Rory Best on a trip down memory lane.
