England ready to face 'beatable' All Blacks, says Andy Farrell
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union

Andy Farrell has called on his "fearless" young England side to record a significant milestone in their development by beating world champions New Zealand on Saturday.
England head into their final autumn Test on the back of narrow defeats by Australia and South Africa.
But assistant coach Farrell believes England can upset the odds and beat New Zealand, saying: "They are beatable.
"This [England] group is fearless, it could certainly be a great milestone."
England may have lost their previous two fixtures but Farrell saw enough in the 16-15 defeat by South Africa last weekend to believe they are on the right track.
New Zealand are unbeaten in 20 matches, and have not lost an autumn international in a decade.
Despite that daunting record, Farrell said the England players are in good spirits and relishing the opportunity to test themselves against the best.
He added: "The discussions this week have been ones that were upbeat and the players are super excited about playing against the best in the world.
"I would think that our boys will see this as a massive privilege to be involved in at such a time in their development - to play against a side that is really, really experienced and has been through a lot and made themselves one of the best sporting teams at the moment.
"Let's be honest New Zealand are a fantastic side at the minute, there are not many weaknesses throughout, they seem to be completely in sync and they have grown together as a team. They are playing some outstanding rugby at the moment.
"They do a lot of things right but they are also vulnerable in places, there is no doubt about that. You cannot be exceptional in every single department for the whole 80 minutes.
"It is up to us to make them have an off day and hopefully be on song ourselves."

Not sure its a good idea to go telling the world about it.
Can´t see us winning, but am ever hopeful. Just want to see some positive attacking rugby.
I cant see how England are making progress. Being good at stopping the others from playing is not enough, in fact that is going backwards. The successful teams will leak a couple of tries over the match but score 3 or 4.
You can coach defence to anyone, the duller they are the more likely they are to stick to the plan. What takes real talent is picking players with vision, skill and pace.
regimes more rigorous, replacement stars are having to step up. The AB's have unequalled depth on the bench and back in NZ. Yes, they will lose one day.That day will not be next Saturday.
Enjoy the game.
Not let's pick an attacking team and try and create a few tries.
God help us (that's not you Clive W)
I am actually quietly confident we can sneak a win counter to popular opinion. Your lot look tired & England have looked good despite the 2 loses.
Rowntree is a very good scrum coach. Catt won the WC and made another WC Final. Lancaster has won a lot with the Saxons.....
Conor O'Shea is blessed with the 2nd best Fly Half in the world!
@165: There is no way Hore was trying to clear out a ruck!
Average kicker and never seen him make a break.
Laughable.
you are the worst in Rugby Fans. Rugby is not a war it's a game, which leads me to believe maybe you yourself spend too much time on "gameboys" as you seem to believe war is a game.
Anyway the 5 week ban seems fair to me. Let's move on and enjoy the games on Saturday.
dont know where dont know when
but I know we'll win again
some sunny day.
Have to love an optimist. At least there be no happy hooker.
Should be a good game and I'm lucky enough to be heading to it!!
Go the ABs!
Ps. let the judges to the judging on Hore - that conversation is past the point of boring..
