"What's happened in the past is irrelevant, we're just trying to get better every week and so are they."
"I don't think we're carrying much baggage, it's a one-off game and we've got to prepare for it."
Farrell was able to name an unchanged starting team for the game with Mack Hansen and James Lowe both passed fit to play.
Farrell said Ryan would probably be available for the semi-finals if Ireland managed to get past New Zealand.
"That's what we're preparing for, the toughest game we've ever faced, and that we're going to be ready for it."
