New Zealand travel to the Aviva Stadium this weekend expecting to end 2013 on a high, unbeaten in 13 games already this year and with the hopes of adding a 14th victory on Sunday.

Ireland are in a different realm altogether, with Josef Schmidt still fairly new to his role of head coach and the squad in a state of transition, hopes might understandably be low.



However, though it may be a bout of world champions against a team not currently firing on all cylinders, there would be no better way for the Shamrock to recover from last week's Australia loss than to overcome the best in the business this weekend.

In what's sure to be an entertaining climax to both sides' November Test series, read on for the match's full viewing information and a breakdown of some key players. 

 

Date: Sunday, Nov. 24

Time: 2 p.m. local time (GMT)

Venue: Aviva Stadium, Dublin

Viewing Info: BBC Two (UK)/RTE Two (IRE)

Schmidt's Impossible Task



Dating all the way back to 1905, Ireland have never claimed a win over the All Blacks, a 10-10 draw in 1973 being the most they've ever got out of a meeting with the Southern Hemisphere giants.

In fact, New Zealand are the only national team Ireland have never claimed a victory against, taking into account all those they've faced.



Things didn't end well for the Irish at the last time of meeting, either, with then-manager Declan Kidney leading his side to a 60-0 defeat in the third and final meeting of their 2012 tour of New Zealand.

In recent months, the All Blacks have been as cutthroat as ever, and Schmidt's challenge this weekend looks nigh insurmountable.
