Farrell believes British & Irish Lions are relishing challenge of New Zealand attack

Andy Farrell believes the British & Irish Lions are relishing the challenge of shutting down a prolific New Zealand attack, just as they have done to the Crusaders and Maori All Blacks, writes Simon Lewis.

The Lions defence coach has seen his players keep the free-scoring Super Rugby-leading Crusaders tryless and restrict the Maori to a single score over the past two Saturdays but recognises the offensive prowess coming the tourists' way at Eden Park this weekend will be another step up in class again.
