Ireland’s influential scrum-half, Peter Stringer has passed a late fitness test this morning and will line out against the New Zealand All Blacks.
Stringer went over on an ankle in training earlier this week and yesterday was given only a 50-50 chance of making the starting 15.
Stringer’s availability will be a big boost to the Irish as his ability to move the ball quickly away from the breakdown will be a huge plus considering that New Zealand are master at slowing down the oppositions possession.
