8 Key Players | England v All Blacks
- 1003
In what will be a new era for the All Blacks under new head coach Scott Robertson, we take a look at 8 players that can have a big effect in the test between England and the All Blacks.
All Blacks
-Scott Barrett | Captain Barrett will need to lead his team with his physicallity.
-Ardie Savea | If the English supporter runners are going to be slow at the breakdowns, Savea will be smiling for 80mins.
-TJ Perenara | Perenara will need to be the link between the All Black forwards and backs. With his educated left boot he can help turn England.
-Rieko Ioane | The Blues outside center will need to be on top of his defensive game to close down the England attck on the outside. The English team loves to play out the back so he will need to make sure when to go and when to stay.
England
-Jamie George | The Saracens hooker will need to be accurate with his lineouts, ecspecially in the red zones.
-Sam Underhill | If England want to be in control on defence, they need Underhill to make dominant tackles.
-Marcus Smith | England will need to play in the right areas and Smith will can help them with that. He needs to decide when they want to go wide or narrow.
-George Furbank | Don't be surprised if the All Blacks test Furbank with high balls early in the match. If he can be solid under the high ball and exit well, England stand a chance.
