you don't want to meet the All Blacks.

The simple fact is your guys are bigger, stronger, faster and more creative football players than anyone else in the world.

Dan Carter is a legend, outscoring the entire English team singlehandedly, kicking, running, passing, just no discernible weakness. As for our number 10, we have never really replaced Jonny Wilkinson.

As for England, we need to look to the world cup after this one. We have talents, Ryan Lamb (at 10), Anthony Allen, Matt Tait, etc, but these guys are out of their depth at present against the best. I worry for the lack of creativity in the forwards.

Anyway Howard, lets settle down for the game between the best 2 teams in the world, (your match vs France). From memory you owe them for a bit of a pasting they gave you and with France hosting the world cup you guys need to put out your best to make a statement.

France are an excellent team with very exciting backs and traditionally strong scrummaging forwards, should be one hell of a match.

GO HARD ALL BLACKS (at least vs France )
