George Bell named in All Blacks team to face Ireland

All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson has named his team to face Ireland, mainly sticking to the starting line-up who beat England.

With Codie Taylor and Beauden Barrett ruled out due to stand down protocols, Asafo Aumua will start at hooker and Damian McKenzie resumes in the No 10 jersey.

The replacements will play from the bench, with Crusaders young rake George Bell named as the reserve hooker and Stephen Perofeta the utility reserve in the 23 jersey.

Aside from the elevation of Aumua and McKenzie into the starting side, the XV remains unchanged.

Tamaiti Williams retains his place at loosehead prop with Ethan de Groot's absence extending another week after being punished for breaking team protocol last week.

Ruben Love and Harry Plummer were expected to join the squad but neither have been named.
