Rory Best has insisted Ireland must pull off their best ever Test match performance to claim a second win over New Zealand in as many weeks. Mason Crosby Jersey . Ireland ended their 111-year wait for a maiden victory over the All Blacks with the 40-29 win in Chicago on November 5, and are now primed for a furious backlash in Dublin on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 4.45pm.Ireland captain Best knows full well the anger the back-to-back world champions will throw into their Dublin revenge mission - and has challenged his side to scale new heights in their performance to pull off another victory. This week well need a performance thats up there with the best weve ever produced in an Ireland shirt, said Best, who will win his 99th Test cap this weekend.Its about us being consistent with our performance levels, thats the most important element.Big one-off performances and then a drop-off isnt acceptable any more with this group of players. Joe Schmidt rejected Steve Hansens suggestion that Ireland are favourites on Saturday All Blacks boss Steve Hansen has branded New Zealand as underdogs for Saturdays Dublin rematch, and ever since Ireland have desperately battled to fend off any intimation they enter the contest as favourites.Ulster hooker Best has continued that theme, claiming Ireland will not even discuss Hansens pre-match assertions when preparing to face the record-breaking All Blacks for the second time in 14 days. Ireland vs New Zealand November 19, 2016, 4:45pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass That tag is something for the media, for press conferences, said Best of Hansen installing Ireland as favourites.They are the number one team in the world for a reason.There wont be any talk about favourites or underdogs in the changing room before the game.Its about knowing we will really have to perform in order to beat a very, very good All Blacks team. QUIZ: Irelands win over NZ Ireland famously beat the All Blacks in Chicago, but do you remember how they did it? Weve put the pressure on our group of players through the coaches to make sure that the preparation we did two weeks ago wont be enough.Its got to be more, so we put that pressure on ourselves internally and weve made sure that everything we covered two weeks ago, weve covered that and more. Thats how we deal with it.Like I said, that tag of favourites and underdogs doesnt really mean a whole lot to us, because were all about preparing us for this weekend, getting ready mentally for what will be an unbelievably tough challenge. Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock return to the New Zealand second row New Zealand have been able to summon fit-again lock duo Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock for the Dublin showdown.Retallick has recovered from concussion while Whitelock has finally beaten ankle trouble to allow the All Blacks to restore one of the games most potent double acts.Best accepts that Ireland must raise their set-piece work even higher than in Chicago in order to counter the influence of New Zealands all-new second row pairing.
