Andy Farrell might have been bullish on the opportunity ahead for Ireland this weekend, but veteran prop Tadhg Furlong says Ireland has “a lot of making up to do” to turn a dream into reality.

The countdown is on for Ireland ahead of Saturday’s Nations Championship in Auckland, where Farrell’s men are chasing history as they attempt to do the unthinkable by becoming the first side since France in 1994 to beat the All Blacks at Eden Park.
