"The All Blacks selectors have named one of their strongest teams possible to play Ireland in Dublin this Saturday night.With new dad Mils Muliaina back at No.15, he is joined in the back three by wings Joe Rokocoko and Sitiveni Sivivatu.Dan Carter moves back to his regular position at first five-eighths after stints at second-five and halfback, when he replaced the injured Andrew Ellis against Scotland last weekend.Ali Williams will play his third consecutive test match and is partnered by Brad Thorn. Fellow Crusader Kieran Read did enough against Scotland on debut to earn a position in the reserves." [+]
