All White Tim Payne and England's Jude Bellingham

While British press lamented the "embarrassing result", a former All White says the New Zealand side showed promise in their 1-0 loss to England.

Sunday's loss to the world number four, in their final of two warm-up matches, was not an unexpected result against a team that had some of the game's superstars in their squad.

The British press called it a "lacklustre warm-up victory" (The Telegraph), a "glorified training game" (The Guardian) and "effectively a training session for fitness levels more than anything else" (Express.co.uk).
