All Blacks boss Steve Hansen Conor Murray's recent injury is 'an Irish trick' as the world champions prepare to face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium next month.

Joe Schmidt's side of the world if they take over New Zealand, who travel to Dublin on a blockbuster autumn clash on November 17.

One key man who is set to miss out Ireland Scrum-half Conor Murray, who has been sidelined with a neck issue. The Munster is set to return to action at the end of the November, which will not be available for the visit of the All Blacks or any other internationals.

However, Ronan O'Gara has just been told that he still believes that Murray may be a feature against the back-to-back World Cup winners and when asked about the Lions star's omission after New Zealand's win over Australia yesterday, Hansen joked that he was unsure whether the 29-year-old would actually play or not.

"Look, I'm not sure about that," said Hansen, attempting an Irish accident.

"I do not know if Conor is really going to be so if this is an Irish trick.

"Look, Conor's a great player and it's really disappointing for both of you.

"It's a test of a test and it's about testing yourself so it's going to be good for you."
