Andy Farrell's men topped Pool B after beating Scotland to stretch their remarkable unbeaten run of 17 games.'Irish top pool in style to set up biggest challenge yet' "We know it's going to be a massive challenge, a huge Test match but one we're really looking forward to. It's obviously do or die."Ireland have won three of four meetings against New Zealand in Farrell's tenure, which began when he replaced Joe Schmidt after the last World Cup.
Kelleher was still a schoolboy back then and suggested the run of results has helped diminish the aura around three-time world champions All Blacks.
