All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is confident his side can handle their first Test against Ireland, in Chicago next weekend – a non‑rugby city with all the distractions of a big American metropolis.
Hansen says one of the abilities the All Blacks has is coping with the distractions of where they play.
However, Hansen had earlier warned that playing the type of rugby seen at home and during the Investec Rugby Championship might not be so easy in the northern hemisphere as this is a different area.
All Blacks play Ireland at 9am next Sunday.
