‘We need a clear gameplan to put them under pressure’
All Blacks have not lost at Twickenham for 13 years
Jamie George has warned that England must not be seduced by the All Blacks’ mystique if they are to clinch a first Twickenham win against New Zealand in 13 years on Saturday.
Steve Borthwick has been boosted before the toughest assignment of England’s autumn campaign with the return to fitness of Elliot Daly, who could make his first appearance since fracturing an arm on British & Irish Lions duty, while Freddie Steward and Tom Roebuck have also been named in the 37-man squad.
England will host the All Blacks after extending their winning run to nine matches with victory against Fiji, again romping clear in the final quarter, chalking up a 38-18 win. Their present form is in stark contrast to that of 12 months ago when England were mired in a run of six defeats in seven games, all by narrow margins. Three of those losses were inflicted by New Zealand – two on the 2024 summer tour before a 24‑22 defeat at Twickenham after George Ford missed two late kicks at goal.
