Looks like Stan aren’t showing this one but they are showing the Barbarians match, any other viewing options for this one?
Virgin Media Player (in Ireland) will be showing the match. You will need a VPN, naturally, but at least it's free.

This is the first game of the weekend.
No word yet on replacements for Aumua and Harmon makes me think they aren't going to fly any new players over.
So who plays in the first game? Do any of the ABs start?
My guess is the team will look something like this:
1 Ross
2 McAlister
3 Mafileo (could be Williams but he is more suited to LH)
4 Tuipulotu
5 Dickson
6 Mikaele-Tu'u
7 Jacobson (the only real option now, plan B would be Lio-Willie)
8 Lio-Willie
9 Perenara
10 McKenzie
11 Lam (or Ennor)
12 Nankivell (or Tuivasa-Sheck)
13 Aumua
14 Sullivan/Stevenson/Heem/Tuivasa-Sheck
15 Love16 Thompson
17 Brewis
18 Mafileo/Rakete-Stones
19 Gallagher
20 Gardiner
21 Roigard
22 Ioane
23 Heem/SullivanClose!
Gardiner at 6 in pack.
RTS and Ennor go again in backs.
Williams (T) reserve TH, which I expected.

I believe they’re Irish channels only so will require a VPN.

Will the All Blacks XV do the haka before the match? I couldn’t remember if the JABs did it before they were disbanded.

TJ Perenara confirmed on Thursday that there would be a haka.
