Dan Carter and Tony Woodcock are definitely out for New Zealand ahead of Sundays clash with Ireland at the Aviva.

Carter has an Achilles tendon injury while Woodcock has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Both players sustained their injuries in the 30 - 22 win over England at Twickenham on Saturday.

"Dan has not had a scan yet, but with the problems he's been having it's just too big a risk to go through the week," said head coach Hansen.

"We've got Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett who can both do the job, so we'll just get on with it with those two."

Ireland No 10 Johnny Sexton is a major doubt with a hamstring injury and will be assessed further today.
