Kiwi Ireland centre Jared Payne fears the All Blacks will put them 'to the sword'GETTY IMAGES NZ-born Jared Payne (with the ball) switched allegiances to Ireland in 2014. Kiwi Ireland centre Jared Payne is fearful the All Blacks are out to put them "to the sword" when they meet again in Dublin on Saturday (Sunday morning NZ Time). Ireland secured their maiden victory over the All Blacks with a 40-29 win in Chicago on November 6, which ended the world champions' world record winning streak for a tier one nation at 18. Payne, 31, became eligible to represent Ireland in 2014 and has worn the green jersey 17 times since, including that famous win in Chicago. "Look, they're going to be better and it would be silly if we were stood on a pedestal," he told the BBC.
