All Blacks have fine history of bouncing back from rare test lossesPHOTOSPORT The All Blacks went down to Ireland, but should go on another winning run. Struggling to recall when the All Blacks lost two tests in a row? For those All Black fans wondering how their heroes will bounce back after Sunday's stunning defeat by Ireland in Chicago, recent history suggests they'll do just fine. Of course, no one is expecting Italy to inflict the first back-to-back defeat on New Zealand in test rugby since August 2011. South Africa extended that winning streak to three on the trot over the All Blacks when they stunned the hosts 32-29 in Hamilton on September 12 later that year - which was New Zealand's last test loss on home soil.
