DUBLIN (Reuters) - Midfield back Ryan Crotty was the only change to the All Blacks side that started against England as New Zealand coach Steve Hansen named his strongest available team for their mouth-watering clash against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.

Crotty will slot into his more comfortable inside centre role alongside Canterbury Crusaders team mate Jack Goodhue, having shifted between the number 12 and 13 jerseys depending on his midfield partner throughout his international career.
