(Reuters) - England playmaker Owen Farrell thinks the British and Irish Lions have a squad capable of taking on any team in the world and will head to New Zealand on Monday believing they can beat the All Blacks in the three-test series.

The Lions arrive in New Zealand on Wednesday after a stopover in Melbourne and Farrell conceded taking on the world champions in their own back yard was a "tough challenge".
