All Blacks a very different proposition to last November

Joe Schmidt wasn't having any of Steve Hansen's mind games after Ireland saw off the All Blacks last November.

The Kiwi coach had kicked off the week of that game by stating these were the two best sides in the world and he ended it by adding that Ireland were now top of the tree and the favourites for the World Cup as a result of that 16-9 win in Lansdowne Road.
