Leinster winger Denis Hickie has been confirmed as the final member of the Ireland match 22 for tomorrow's game against New Zealand in Eden Park, Auckland.
Irish Coach Eddie O'Sullivan had left a vacancy in the replacements to consider his options as there were concerns over Geordan Murphy's Achilles tendon injury.
Murphy has come through training during the week and the Captain's Run this morning in Auckland Grammar School with no reaction, and will now take his place in the starting XV against New Zealand.
Meanwhile, O'Sullivan insists he will not abandon Ireland's running philosophy and may even expand on it if circumstances require against the All Blacks.
O'Sullivan embarked on a more positive style of play after exposure to the All Blacks during last year's Lions tour, and during the Grand Slam tour when the New Zealanders had a 43-7 win in Dublin, and is determined to maintain a more expansive style of play.
'There will come a time in games when you have to run with the football to win a game,' he said. 'If you haven't been doing that consistently, you can't just pull that out of the bottom drawer on the day.
'You have to experience that playing environment and, sure enough, you may have to adjust your tactics on a one-off situation, but there will be a time when you have to go out and play rugby.
'If you haven't been doing that you are in no position to do that when you are under the most amount of pressure,' he said.
