A ‘test against the best’ awaits Steve Borthwick’s England in New Zealand
Steve Borthwick argues that the days of England rugby teams becoming cannon fodder in New Zealand are passed as his team prepares for a two-Test series against the All Blacks. The head coach claims he has played on teams that were mentally beaten before they stepped off the airport, but he believes the current squad is a different species. While England has not toured New Zealand in a decade and has not won on Kiwi territory since 2003, Borthwick and his team have travelled south keen to demonstrate that the balance of global rugby power is shifting. They are also encouraged by the prospect of being the first English team to defeat the All Blacks in a multi-Test series.

"In our opinion, the pants regulations were ambiguous, inconsistently enforced, and, to be candid, a bit antiquated," said Andrea Nelson, chief executive officer of GNZ, in a statement.
