We had a couple of opportunities to potentially get a penalty or a drop goal, which unfortunately we didn’t convert. But that’s the nature of the game. We’ll look at ourselves, we’ll be really honest with ourselves, we’ll get better and we’ll move forward. But no one’s blaming George Ford, absolutely not.
Overall, it was a tough loss for England against a strong New Zealand side, but there were positives to take from the performance. The team will look to learn from this defeat and improve as they face upcoming challenges in the autumn series.
