‘We want to make people back home really proud’All Blacks drop Beauden Barrett for Saturday’s first test
England have been sending rugby union teams on tour to New Zealand for 61 years but never have they exuded more intent before a Test series on Kiwi soil. Their captain, Jamie George, has pledged his side will take the All Blacks on physically, cause them to upgrade their opinions of English players and set the tone for a potentially spectacular sporting weekend.
George also says his team are ready to put in a huge performance and can achieve “something really special” this month if they get stuck in to their hosts from the outset and play to their potential. “We’ve come to New Zealand to play our way and take New Zealand on,” he said.
