It all goes on the line on Sunday morning for Ian Foster's All Blacks when they line up against modern-day nemesis Ireland in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals.
Ireland's climb to top spot in the world rankings began in that triumphant series on New Zealand soil last year.
They're unbeaten since then and will start favourites at Stade de France, where an estimated 70,000 Irish supporters are predicted to be on hand.
Former All Black Ant Strachan spoke to Corin Dann.
