DUBLIN (Reuters) -Caelan Doris is fit enough to start on the Irish bench against New Zealand on Saturday for the two sides' return to Chicago's Soldier Field, the site of Ireland's first victory over the All Blacks after 111 years of trying in 2016.

Ireland, who have won four of the teams' nine clashes since, including a tour triumph on New Zealand soil, will start Jack Crowley at outhalf, with the Munsterman's superior form at provincial level winning out over rival Sam Prendergast.
