Prop Owen Franks may have rejected the notion that the All Blacks were on a revenge mission, but the Mail - rated the world's biggest news site - firmly rejected that in the words accompanying a hefty training ground photo spread. The All Blacks will have been given a serious tune up in Dublin, even if they publicly concentrate on the fine tuning aspect. One of the captions read: "New Zealand have been working hard this week as they seek revenge against Ireland." The Mail is undoubtedly on the mark about revenge, even if the All Blacks have scrubbed the word from their whiteboard. But no matter what the All Blacks say in public, the sports world is expecting a furious backlash.
