New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson is refusing to entertain the idea that Ireland are in some way at a disadvantage given their lack of recent time together, at one stage referring to Andy Farrell's men as "the Lions" during his press conference in Chicago this afternoon. The All Blacks have played six games since the majority of Ireland's players played their last Test match for the Lions and most of Andy Farrell's men have only had one provincial game since their summer break.
