Ireland head coach, Joe Schmidt, says he's under no illusions ahead of Saturday's visit of New Zealand to the Aviva Stadium.
The world champions suffered their first defeat in eighteen matches when they lost to Ireland in Chicago earlier this month.
"I think they'll come full strength and fully loaded," said Schmidt.
"Maybe we surprised them a little bit because while a lot of people were referencing 2013 we didn't have that many starters that were the same as 2013. They had a lot of changes as well.
"Three years on it is difficult to use that as a reference point but this time it was only seven days ago. There's a very close reference point and they can go back and look at that. I think I read that they didn't look back too much, they looked ahead at Italy and got their game done.
"They'll look at us now and have a really good plan. I think they are incredibly well coached. I think they are incredibly well prepared physically. The rate they play at - if they have the ball you're under pressure if they've got it and I think they might have an opportunity to have more access to it if they've got their second row back."
