Luke Fitzgerald: We can punish ‘arrogant’ All Blacks again

New Zealand were punished for showing “a lack of respect” to Ireland when they lost in Chicago and could be in for another shock in Saturday’s rematch at the Aviva Stadium, according to former Lions wing Luke Fitzgerald.

Joe Schmidt’s side delivered one of rugby’s biggest shocks by winning 40-29 11 days ago to end the All Blacks’ 18-game winning run and become the first team since South Africa in 2004 to score 40 points against them.

Fitzgerald, who retired from rugby earlier this year with 34 caps for Ireland and one for the Lions, said Steve Hansen’s world champions would be a tougher proposition on Saturday as Ireland bid to become the first side to post back-to-back victories against them since South Africa in 2009.
