Andy Farrell: All Blacks bitten but far from shy

The All Blacks may be once bitten, but that certainly won’t make them twice shy, according to Andy Farrell.

The Ireland defence coach is a man well acquainted with wounded Kiwis, so his theory New Zealand will show their teeth against Italy tonight in response to last weekend’s loss in Chicago is one worth noting.

Credited for playing a major part in England’s 2012 victory over the All Blacks, Farrell fell just short of helping the English claim back-to-back wins over world rugby’s greatest force.
