Ireland set to take on the All Blacks in 2018 according to reports

Ireland is reportedly set to get another crack at world champions New Zealand during the November international series next year.

Joe Schmidt’s men famously defeated the All Blacks in Chicago last year, romping to a 40-29 victory.



According to Derek Foley of The Irish Daily Star, a deal has been agreed for a November 2018 Test, with a second Test in the Netherlands also mooted, but turned down by the IRFU.

The back-to-back world champions are already booked in to take on Eddie Jones’ England next year in what looks set to be a stacked Autumn International Series.
