New Zealand have named their team for the rugby international test match against Ireland in Chicago.
Kieran Read captains the side which will take on Joe Schmidt's team on Saturday, November 5th at Soldier Field.
He is the most experienced player when it comes to All Blacks caps in the team, with 94 to his name.
Beauden Barrett is at out-half in a half-back pairing with Aaron Smith.
Julian Savea and Waisake Naholo are on the wings, while the centre partnership is made up of Ryan Crotty and George Moala.
Aaron Cruden, who scored the winning conversion when the All Blacks narrowly defeated Ireland 24-22 in 2013, is on the bench.
Scott Barrett is the only uncapped player named, starting from the bench and speaking to the New Zealand rugby official website, head coach Steve Hansen said: "Firstly, we want to congratulate Scott on being selected in the matchday 23 for the first time. It will be special day for him and the entire Barrett family, including his two brothers who are touring with him. Also, we want to congratulate Julian on reaching 50 Tests. That is a significant achievement and again he and his family can be rightly proud of everything he has achieved in the black jersey.
"Returning to Chicago for only the second time in our history has, once again, been a great experience. The team have embraced the sporting atmosphere and the culture of the city and we really appreciate the way we’ve been looked after by the people of Chicago."
