We travelled well from Italy and are back into our more traditional routine of hitting a town and then moving onto the next one. The weather has been great here and we\u2019ve enjoyed training in those conditions and getting ready for what will be a massive occasion on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe obviously have objectives we want to get out of each training session and we feel we have done that well.\u00a0\u00a0The guys are focussed and we achieved what we wanted to achieve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking on the changes in the starting backline, Foster said: \u201cThat\u2019s the way we finished the Welsh game, with Anton moving in, Rieko moving to centre and Sevu on the wing.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a little bit of a reward for that combination. We\u2019ve been able to use this series of games and the time together to try different things and thought a little change there would be good for us.\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019re also pretty excited at the impact that Finlay, David and Richie will have off the bench.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Foster added: \u201cWe\u2019ve watched Ireland\u2019s development this year with interest, particularly through the latter part of the Six Nations and last week\u2019s big win over Japan. They are certainly playing with confidence and ambition and represent a formidable challenge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have no doubt what Saturday is going to bring at a full Aviva Stadium.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a big occasion, rugby is back to Dublin in terms of full grandstands, so we know what it\u2019s going to mean here, and we want that kind of stage. It\u2019s big and it\u2019s exciting and is what motivates this team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Key facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The All Blacks and Ireland have played each other 32 times since 1905, with 29 wins to the All Blacks,\u00a0\u00a0two wins to Ireland and one draw.

The All Blacks play European opponents every year in June and again at the end of the year, and play Argentina, Australia and South Africa annually in The Rugby Championship.

In 2013 they became the first international team in the professional era to go through the season unbeaten.
